Ken,
Thanks for this call, I hope NC members respond to it. We've certainly seen 
how deeply and strongly feelings run on this issue.

I've asked Pilar Luque and volunteers to summarize the material that we've 
had presented so far, so that we can focus our discussions a bit better.

Currently it's down the list a bit,  and I've seen some interest in moving 
it up the agenda. Unless there is strong objection, I'd feel comfortable 
with moving it up to be handled after the preliminary reports are approved. 
That would schedule focused discussion to begin Monday, and give any 
volunteers time to summarize what's already been said.

All items that should be discussed, though perhaps we should discuss 
specific actions in terms of the specific issues they address.

Definitely.

Comments from all, please?
