Dear Colleagues,

While now I'm seeing a lot of comments on the list and it is good thing,

let me ask you to state these comments before asking consensus in OPM.

While I have announced three proposal discussed in Jakarta, only two comments

(one opposition for prop-104 and one support for prop-105) were made on the list.

Even in the meeting, the discussion was not so active compared to previous meetings.

Without enough comments and discussions before asking consensus, authors cannot

improve their proposals in timely manner. Also, few discussion makes difficult for Chairs

to gauging community's opinion. As a result, proposals may need more meetings to

reach consensus or fail. Certainly, "no interest" is one of possible opinions,

but it is not easy to distinguish them from "not yet been interested" or "just hesitate".

IMO, current situation is not bottom-up discussion and rather it looks like a voting

for the agenda which were provided by somebody.

So, please express your opinion and have productive discussion before asking consensus

in Auckland and future meetings.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

Masato Yamanishi
