Hi,

Thanks Suresh.

I, personally, would not go so far as to say others should recuse themselves.  For myself, I would have felt I had to recuse myself in one place or another as part of the multistakeholder give and take, but that is just me.  

I want to feel free to discuss with enthusiasm once in the WGEC and to work for a true multistakeholder synthesis.  And in order to have that freedom, I needed to recuse myself from the creation of the comments.

I have also found that by listening to many discussions of what was to go into comments, without spending any time forming my own view has given me a chance to learn stuff about some other perspectives.  For me that is a key part of this multistakeholder activity - learning to understand other perspectives.

As an absolute relativist, I accept that mine is but one way of doing things.  
I even accept that my way may be a divergent outlier.
