[Gomes, Chuck]

The sign off approach to a letter seems like a reasonable idea to me.  We could also include listing of any WP members who object to specific aspects of the letter.

Hi

Looking good, thanks for the edits and renumbering.  One clarification please:

Seeing J. Scott's message this morning, it may be that we can't get consensus within the WP as step 1.  If we are also thinking that there would need to be a consensual endorsement for Councilors as step 2 (I'm not entirely clear on this) then the chances of being able to send a WP text probably slip further.  In the event, how should the interested parties proceed?

I can't see any reason for each group that agrees with the text to go off on its own and spend cycles trying to rewrite the same thoughts into its own language.  Too much else to do and too little time.  Why not instead simply have a sign on to this letter by the coalition of the willing?  That way we could get something sent off before the OEC's Monday meeting.
