Olivier,
We can all discuss this next tuesday. I think it is essential for
everyone to
educate themselves.
If you have additional information which you are allowed to share, then
please feel
free to send a link or the actual document(s).
The goal for next week is for everyone to discuss the issue - so that
the
TSC can make a formal decision the week after.
- Martin
