[co-chair hat on]

Hello Randy,

(I would personally have been fine with keeping the text as is, and you 
probably overlooked that part of my message, but) I have already 
declared that we have consensus that we should improve the wording 
(without changing the substance), because we think that the comment was 
based (to some extent) on misunderstanding.

If you think that I judged that consensus wrongly, please say so, so 
that we can reopen discussion on that part.
If you think that moving issue resolution forward by declaring consensus 
on some part of an issue and then continue to resolve the remaining 
parts of the issue is procedurally inappropriate, please say so.

Otherwise, please help us concentrate on the issues (and subissues) 
currently being discussed, so that we can move forward as quickly as 
possible.

Regards,    Martin.
