Mike, 

pessimism won't get us anywhere. Can you precisely point to the 
pessimism expressed at _this_ table or do you rather mean the press 
release skirmish that is ambient to this effort since day one from 
all sides? 

I was previously very pessimistic, but we may get some progress in 
the global considerations discussions (hopefully).
