Yes, a five para statement with several specific decision notes and
referral quotes is not too much as long as they are repetitive and
blurred away at the end. I support Siva with concerns that by making a
shortcut statement we may loose the essence of CS role or what we
actually want to be understood. <br><br>

statement on behalf of most of its several CS members, so it is ok if the
statement is long enough to include the facts, arguments and express all
our concerns.<br><br>
Brevity without sufficient reason is unnecessary and would leave so much
