Dear all, 

During our cal today, some two additional points were raised and addressed regarding the document but we seem to have arrived at a level of consensus, as no further objections were raised.
Please do revisit the document and add your final suggestions until end of day Tuesday, 4th of December! (Please do so in the document if at all possible)

This is the link to document:

Many thanks
Laurin
