Actually I was suggesting that the joint public sessions that have been run so 
far - are good for speakers from each side expressing their points of view - 
but they don't help reach any consensus/compromise.  In fact they are probably 
better for discussing brand new policies where wide ranging views are useful at 
the beginning of a policy development exercise.   I was suggesting that to move 
forward on issues such as geographic names that you may consider a different 
approach of getting smaller working groups of experts together to consider the 
issues further.
