While I applaud the Chairs for ensuring we get this right, I am concerned that a specific timeline has not been articulated here. Can we have the Chairs assurances that this will be dealt with and resolved *before* the May 22 deadline? I think that it would be helpful if, when requesting "...further approaches to applying this decision should be posted..." that a deadline for those postings be identified, and that a revised decision date also be indicated. Having been burned once before on a 'confusion' around states and dates, I would like to ensure that this Working Group not be subjected to that kind of imprecision again. Cheers! JF
