I'm not sure I could design a process more guaranteed to result in complete
resistance from the community if I tried. It's gobsmacking that far more
effort was made on putting together a nice little junket to Tunisia than
any sort of effort to seek community-buy-in. The working groups had
next-to-no direct interaction with any of the community's objections to the
proposals. But again, a trip to Tunis is a lot more fun than remedying risk
assessments with howlers like (I'm paraphrasing) "some people might not
like it" or "people can just leave the project."

Paulo,
There is nothing more for us to do, since community input closed on
the 15 September. The community will next be consulted on the
implementation of the recommendations after they are finally agreed.

to
do with this, since those recommendations most
probably became outdated
in
the course of the Tunis meetings in the days
following their publication.
Are we supposed to do anything at all with them?
Best,
