Many thanks for the hard work. As I've been an observer to this round, and as a former chair of the FDC for six rounds, I can attest that you have done a very good job, discussing the details of all proposals.
While people may disagree with your recommendations or opinions, the diligent approach and due care are, in my view, indisputable.
