This, in my opinion, is the crux of the matter. Most of us apparently |
| 9 |
are not sufficiently convinced that there actually is a problem. Until |
| 10 |
the problem is explained with clarity, the rest of the proposal is useless. |

I concur that speaking for myself, I don't understand the issue. And it |
| 16 |
looks like many others don't either. So if anyone wants to promote this |
| 17 |
GLEP, their job is clear: make people understand what the issue is here, |
| 18 |
and convince them it is actually an issue. (Examples, scenarios usually |
| 19 |
work well, indeed a lot better than calling people names.) |

I want to call on the Council to reject this GLEP in its current form, |
| 26 |
as the problem has been insufficiently clarified. We should not waste |
| 27 |
more time on it. |
