Perhaps we could add, that during the time from now till the next
conference work will be done
on seemingly problematic points by studying similar structures already in
place in our /other fields.
What is needed at the moment, according to me, is the approval of the
members to proceed in the
direction outlined with the aim of coming up with grounded concrete
proposals at the next conference,
and the input of members.
