Hello Nicole, Thank you. I just wonder - if the rest is presented this way, people might think that it belongs to the direction, and what the relationship between both is. And I'm afraid, that later the Foundation will claim that the rest is important or an important (authoritative) interpretation that will influence the following discussions. There will be confusion what exactly is endorsed an can be used (abused) in those following discussions.
For example, I am very concerned that the "oral traditions" are still in the game, especially as Guillaume emphasized that he still wants to go this way.
