Hi Robert, If you are seeking your proposal to be integrated in your document, then I'd suggest you to provide text for inclusion in the document and take the opportunity of the meeting in Atlanta to discuss with authors.
Since you are putting forward an alternative approach, a possibility is also to progress it as a separate document.
