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)
