Re: Monday Call - Kick-off Call for Objections for Issue 22; review of edits for other issues

Hi Matthias

I’m not sure we’re ready for a CfO.  I for one am trying not to find the best proposal for a problem among a set of competing proposals to solve an issue, but to understand what the issue statement is.  Rob and Shane seem to think it’s for ‘transparency’ but I don’t understand ‘of what’.
