What we are actually doing right now is focusing on the details of
drafting to make sure that:
 - the parts of the resolution that are in every ballot option
   are unambiguous (so they won't result in more arguments) and
   properly reflect the TC consensus
 - the parts of the resolution that are contentious are the clearest
   possible but also the most reasonable approach
 - we don't accidentally prejudge something we don't intend to;
   or conversely accidentally fail to specify something which is
   important.

Frankly right now I'm not even reading messages which are trying to
persuade us to change our minds about the key questions.

Ian.
