I further take our esteemed co-Chairs' point (expressed by Jonathan for himself and Lise) that it is too late to change the physical document. This makes sense to me, given that it is in front of the Chartering Organizations for an "up or down" vote after some weeks of consideration. Further, I trust their judgment to navigate this critical stage.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>I might tentatively suggest that the co-Chairs consider the possibility of a communication responding to the ICG and providing further comfort that this is not a position being proposed by the CWG and should essentially be "read out" of the document.
