Hello Robert, I think you got the wrong Vincent or you confuse me with Someone else :-). See below what I responded to Niklas regarding his point on cartoons and educational animations: I am supportive of the idea and said that it was "an important thing for the working group to consider". So the Working Group as a whole is dismissing the idea. Some expressed disagreement (e.g., Jon and Thierry) and I expressed agreement, but that does not mean the whole group has formed an opinion as a group yet or that the group has dismissed the idea.
