As I've said to you off-list, since LWG's interpretation of the CTs results in
such a significant difference from what I'd consider to be the literal
meaning, I'd appreciated it if you could check with the other OSMF
board members, so you then can make an official statement about
Michael's post.

If you can confirm Michael's post does indeed represent OSMF's views, then I can
agree the CTs on that basis.

Thanks,

Robert.
