Indeed. It could always occur in multiple stages, with TDF getting feedback from their membership, etc., doing this in iterative rounds of discussions. I leave it to TDF how best to caucus. Would you acknowledge that having a direct negotiating session with 500 individual in not really practical, especially if those individuals have no authority over their organization's respective licenses?
