I had not noticed tat I am on any horse, let alone a white horse;-)...
And just because I may be old enough to be everyone's daddy does not
make it so;-)... Or make it sound appealing to be so.
I assure you that I and ORSC and others who are throwing their weight
in favor of the Paris Draft remain as critical as ever, and that we
will see spirited open pubic debate about a large number of critical
changes in the next few weeks.
But, what we are embracing is that fact that a major breakthrough has
occurred and we want to lock that progress in. I hope you wil not
begrudge us this much.
BTW, your suggestions are on the list of things we want to change, so
lets agree that the glas sis at least half full, rather than half
empty and then go for the gold!
Cheers...\Stef
