Marty,

I apologize, I should have read the changes more closely or maybe got 
more sleep last night, probably both with a causal linkage.  So sorry.

I guess, I no longer have any fundamental objection to PP#122 as it has 
been modified.   Worst case scenario it delays implementation of 4.10 
until Aug 10 2011, I could probably live with that.

But, on the other side what do you perceive the harm would be to of 
allowing 4.10 to be implemented as it is?  Or, will be if we fail to 
come to a consensus to fix it.

Well maybe fix it, the point of my earlier email was I'm confident of a 
consensus that we need to make fixes, I not confident of a consensus on 
what those fixes should be.  But I'm ready and willing to move on to 
that discussion ASAP.   The timetable for getting a Draft Policy ready 
for the Spring Policy Meeting is mighty short at this point.  Are you 
suggesting that PP#123 is the replacement for 4.10?  The way I read #123 
is that it is in addition to 4.10, do I have that wrong?

And Owen, what do you perceive the harm would be to suspend 4.10 until 
Aug 10 2011?

Yep, about 30 sec before your response.

I have an additional request; Given the amount of scrutiny that our 
community is likely to be put under in the coming year, for the above 
reason;

I would like to see a clear and significant (more than just the usual 
suspects) consensus that the community both supports these policies and 
more importantly that the community supports the use of the emergency 
policy process regarding these policies.  It needs to be clear to any 
third-party who reviews PPML at some future date, maybe as few as a 
couple months from now what the communities consensus was.

Therefore, please speak up on these policy proposals, and if you haven't 
posted lately to PPML, this is an excellent opportunity to rectify that 
situation.

So please let everyone know your thoughts, even if that is as simple as;

"I support PP#122 and support use of the emergency policy process", or 
not as the case may be. If you can provide some reasons why, all the 
better, but that's not required.
