.INT is a can of worms.
I really think it would be unwise to open it now, at the 11th hour, as
an afterthought, a few days before the end of the 2nd public
consultation. I am of the view that if it ain't broke, don't attempt to
fix it. I definitely to not see a link between it and the transition of
stewardship itself.
Kind regards,

Olivier
