Hi Bret,

we discussed this matter also on the mmwg list. To me it seems unlikely 
that we (in the sense of cs working groups) would get away with 
dissolving into a bunch of individuals who make "I think..." statements. 
It simply doesn't fit in a world of aggregated positions developed by 
countries, groups of countries or even supranational entities like the 
EU. I think in the long run, we dilute our voice if we speak as individuals.
