</span></span><![endif]>On timing, this is an issue that has been under discussion among Malcolm Hutty, Sam Eisner, Liz Le, and myself separately – specifically as to whether and how an overall “repose” time-limitation might be acceptable/work. I plan to send
a mail to this small group tomorrow with some suggestions and ask Malcolm, Sam, and Liz to do their best to be on the call to discuss Thursday. We will give the discussion ten minutes or so (the groundwork discussions are complete and need not be revisited
– we now need to seek a way forward) and if unable to complete on the call we will take the issue to the full list.<o:p></o:p></p>
