To the extent that a few people have included both a discussion of the decision and criticism of the proposal in a single piece of email, it effectively is. I think more clarity around this would be helpful. It should be clearer, in particular, that discussion of the process is not out- of-bounds. If that discussion turns toxic, as well, it can be dealt with at that time. But I think limiting it now is a mistake. Melinda -- Melinda Shore melinda.shore@xxxxxxxxx Software longa, hardware brevis
