From my perspective, I see the same thing.

Of the several proposals presented today, I believe any could have real benefits. However, all of them seemed to worry overmuch about an imagined conflict of interests. I wish we could just let go of that belief, design a protocol that hives good information in both directions _and_ is easily expandable, and get some experience with it. > Can we agree as a WG that there is no 'hemispherical conflict'?
