But I welcome comments on the substance. No one is asking you to withdraw your proposal. I believe that all that is being pointed out is that Cynthia will not forfeit her opportunity to present a proposal simply because you have prepared one. I will confirm that Cynthia is making good progress. I met with her last week and this week I have seen a first draft of @summary text proposal that hopefully she will be ready to present to the group shortly. If you are looking towards producing something that could be workable as a long-term solution, it would make sense to factor this in. I will also note that Cynthia has not historically had the bandwidth to participate in this mailing list, but often does find the time to attend the weekly teleconferences. I am quite willing to decouple the near term need for a poll (should there still be a desire to have one) from your activities (which apparently are focused on the longer term). > Regards, > Maciej - Sam Ruby
