I just wanted to mention some procedural points to consider in this discussion and thank you all for contributing to this debate. It does provide helpful guidance to the AC. </div>

The current text is frozen, and cannot be changed until it is discussed at the meeting in San Jose. However, it can be discussed whether people would prefer "shall" or "should". If the community wanted the AC to advance this proposal by changing "should" to
"shall", without going to another meeting, it does have to be discussed in San Jose with clear consensus, since that is not an editorial change.</div>

Clear direction from the community helps the AC in their decision making process. If the discussion and feedback at the meeting is clearly split between changes to the text, it can make final decisions challenging. </div>
