COMMENTS IN
CONNECTION WITH QUESTION #3:
(Comments should be limited to 1 or 2
paragraphs)
This ballot is rather bizarre - the fact that it is an issue
suggests to me that we need at least to write a position paper than have a
ballot mechanism which suggests that it may not be an issue for the rather small
number of people on this WG.
