And all of that is very important.

I would also like to add the point that we need the contracts to be ready
enough that are in principle in good shape and broadly acceptable, but we
*do* have a public comment period which enables further adjustment as
needed, from CWG and others. If people can think about their further
comments also in this light, that would be helpful.

Thanks,

Jari
