Nope. I was speaking in my own name. It is my view and I share it :-)

More seriously, I can ask the board to make a decision on this if this 
is considered best. Afaik, the only board member who participated in 
this specific discussion was Jimbo (it was on one of our internal 
lists). So I do not really know others positions.

It goes without saying that Jimbo and Michael will have to abstain on 
any decision on the matter, due to the conflict of interest.
