Thanks for posting your views.

You'll have seen Russ's comments on the details and loose ends as I
call them.  Russ and I were mostly agreed on these points.

I have written a draft resolution from my own point of view and
checked it into the tech-ctte git repo.  Perhaps some of it is useful.
Ansgar commented a bit on it on IRC.  I guess I should post it.

I agree with the latter part of this.

Thanks,
