    <p>Tomslin, Your words below are wise. The Singular and Plural
      group, despite all of its extra time, is having a difficult time.
      Just when we think we have decided something and come to
      agreement, another "Strawman" emerges. We have gone through 4 or 5
      by now.</p>
    <p>And the same thing happened last night - where a very different
      (and very disturbing) new Strawman emerged.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>Best, Kathy<br>
    </p>

              <div>I like the optimism, however, in my opinion, I think
                there is benefit for the wider council to discuss the
                final proposal from the small team+ before voting on it.
                Considering how heated this particular topic has been in
                the small team+, it'll be good for the council to also
                know whether the recommendations enjoy the full
                consensus of the small team or otherwise and if not,
                what level of consensus was achieved as required by the
                updated Small team Assignment form.<br>
