Hmm, I hate to be the nagger here - I just hoped that right from the
beginning the openness and transparancy could be clear by doing this kind of
things, that are not secret, as much as possible in the open :) Although I
also hope everybody will agree with it - it would be helpful if people could
lend you their thoughts on it, even if they are not involved in the group
formally fostering the discussion. Although you hopefully did not mean it
like that, "will be made available for comment" does not sound exactly
inclusive :)
