I'm sorry you read a different intention from it. It would be silly of me to try to *command* anyone to do anything in this working group.

I think that ignoring someone's emails is counterproductive to the smooth operation of this Working Group. Further, I think that trying to limit anything at all to the Change/Counter Proposal process is counterproductive, as these are very nearly *endpoints*, and ones that generate an astonishing and annoying amount of bureaucracy. Nearly any possible action that can prevent something from reaching the point of Change/Counter Proposals is a good thing, and nearly anything that encourages more things escalating to Issues and requiring Change/Counter Proposals is bad. So, my personal view is that this would be a bad move on your part. To make myself absolutely clear, I'm not ordering you to pay attention to my emails. You may do as you wish, as always. I'm merely suggesting what I feel would be a more productive move for the Working Group as a whole. I believe that everyone paying attention to everyone's emails would result in the quickest and most productive process. ~TJ
