Re: [council] Re: Draft message to the Board

[Ching Chiao <chiao@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

+1 ..... and we do not need to vote on this (agree on Tim's previous note).

On the side note, Stéphane I'd like to reiterate that JIG motion is not a
"mistake" but a good lesson learned. In fact as many have gradually learned
that two SOs are really on separate track of development and we sort out
with great communication between Lesley and you.

I owe you / the Council a draft statement and am working on it.
