The communiqué is fine as a starting point. Some comments and ideas for 
improving and evolving it.    (01)

* It is difficult to read this and glean the 1-3 really key point. For example, 
----the benefits of a shared UO are not clear, 
----nor is the emphasis on articulating the similarities and differences and 
inter-relationships. 
It is all there, but not highlighted very well.    (02)

* It suffers from the fact that no-one had a chance to look it over in the 
large, we mostly focused  on each statement on its own, or in context of 1-2 
others nearby. 
        It has some stylistic problems, easily fixed by some word-smithing.
        The order of points is fine in the large, but a clear story does not 
really emerge.     (03)

* It comes across a bit like motherhood, which may reflect that fact that there 
was not that much that we could all actually agree on. To address this, it may 
be good to clearly state the very important points of DIS-agreement, and some 
pros/cons on the issues.    (04)
