RE: [dow2tf] Revised draft

["Steve Metalitz" <metalitz@xxxxxxxx>]

I believe that the circulated draft language of Sec. 1.4 mis-states the
substance of the recommendation in 3.5, so I recommend that we change
the summary to be consistent with the recommendation.    This is not an
11th hour change to substance.  As we have all agreed, the summary in
sec. 1.4 could not be completed until the recommendations themselves
were completed.

The change also moves the substance of the recommendation from "the
principle is accepted, subject to ..." to "the principle is accepted as
a topic for further exploration."

That's a significant change to the report's substance proposed at the
11th hour, and -- from my reading of what was discussed -- matches
neither the Task Force's discussions, nor the recommendations in section
3.  I would recommend that this change
*not* be adopted in the final version of the TF's report.
