[governance] CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation

[David Allen]

With appreciation for the views vehemently opposed to the co- 
coordinator's post to Ms Bommelaer - let me also notice that that  
voice, reaching from another SG, - previously - spoke in fashions  
deemed entirely anathema.  By a segment of this caucus.

On the one hand, that would not be taken as excusing stepping beyond  
understood bounds.

On the other hand, that is just the sort of power tussle we expect  
from tribal arrangements ...  One goes too far, in the view of some;  
another responds.

Illustrating ...
