Bill

I appreciate the clear statement of your view, which is consistent with 
what you have been saying for many weeks.

I just want others to tell their clear views as well.... Not tell us 
that well this is what has already happened and so.... But what is their 
preferences (and what was it at Bali, and if there is a change of view, 
some clarification will be extremely helpful).

I also agree with Bill that we should stop causing confusion, and 
clearly arrive at a view and tell it to the outside world.

PS: Marking to IGC, where I would like this issue to be put to vote.
