Ok...    (01)

So it seems we have broad agreement MODULO the comments made by Matt  
West and John Bateman about focus.  Given that the charter of this  
meeting was per Leo's description    (02)

I think it is only fair to see to it that ALL participants with a ULO  
to champion, be given equal time to present.  I support Adam's agenda  
WITH those changes.    (04)

As for Brand Niemann's contention that there was insufficient time  
and that "thought leaders" had to be consulted, I'm sorry, but I  
don't buy that explanation for a second.  I would ask -- Why were the  
ULO custodians and invited outside experts (myself included) not  
included in this consultation??   This smells ... bad ... and I would  
like to see this situation looked into eventually when there is  
time.  But the real business ought to come first.    (05)
