All I will say is that the Chairs believe that the Group has duly 
considered the legitimate concerns of dissenters as far as is possible 
and reasonable, and that the group SHOULD move on.

If you wish to pursue this further, I suggest that you present new 
information as described by the decision, and accompany this information 
with a Change Proposal.  I also encourage you to review the objections 
that were made to the previous proposal and to work with the individuals 
that made those objections.
