Re: On the difference between scenarios A and B in Carl's report

2004-09-06 13:32:14

The thing that left me most uncomfortable with Scenario B as described was 
that it presented a smorgasboard of options ("here are ten menu choices - 
take your pick"), where some of them (the MoU) were totally obvious, and 
some had (in my mind) severe disadvantages. So we can't say "we go for 
scenario B" and have the discussion be finished, we have to be able to say 
"Options 1, 3, 5 and 7 make sense, the rest does not, and besides, here's 
option 17 that wasn't in the original document".


There are 7 mechanisms listed, but in no way did I expect some substantial
number of them to be adopted.  Indeed, they are listed as straw-men and
I did not make a recommendation.  The idea was to illustrate a range of 
options and I left the hard part (deciding what to do) to the community to 
decide.  

Regards,

Carl
