                              things that you said.</span></div>
                          <div style="" class=""><span style="" class="" lang="EN-US">However, it might be
                              useful that you suggest a revision marked
                              text and move all of your comments to the
                              covering.</span></div>
                          <div style="" class=""><span style="" class="" lang="EN-US">It seems that at least I
                              have sympathy for many of your thoughts
                              but prefer to see your text possibly not
                              coming back to square one. No one believes
                              that anyone else should be excluded. A
                              team work means everybody should be given
                              the opportunity to comment.</span></div>
                          <div style="" class=""><span style="" class="" lang="EN-US">What&nbsp;bothers me is that
                              some people want to restrict the process
                              to only three operational communities
                              .While we agree that their interest should
                              be met but we want to give opportunity to
                              others </span></div>

                          <div style="" class=""><span style="" class="" lang="EN-US">However, I wish to
                              reiterate that I would have serious
                              difficulties if one focus on a particular
