Jeanette and all,
Agreed Jeanette. I believe that Alf also seems to think that postponing
"Controversial decisions" is wise as well. We [INEGroup] and especially
our European and US members strongly disagree with Alf and Alexander
as do you.
Of course as such, I don't believe that Alf or Alexander's position
or opinion meets Alf's definition of "Rough Consensus" pontificated
in some posts a few weeks ago on this list.
