    <p>Dear Niels, Jorge and colleagues</p>
    <p>I have continued to read the stream of emails of this list over
      the last months with great attention.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>This document (as it is or may be amended by Jorge) I think is a
      good balance between the need to implement the bylaw and the
      complexity of the issues when raised.</p>
    <p>I just wanted to confirm that I think this language,  and the
      subsidiarity process of ACs and SOs etc interpreting the bylaw
      requirement as it applies to their circumstances, lessens
      significantly the operational risks I raised at an earlier time.
         <br>
    </p>
    <p>I would be willing to support this approach.</p>
    <p>Best</p>
    <p>Paul</p>

              the Consideration document will be merged into one
              document with the FoI<br>
              upon approval by the subgroup.<br>
