No, maybe my English is not as good as I thought it was :-)-O. I mean
the drafting team must take the MTX consensus as a base (of departure)
and write up a draft along those lines.

In other words we can not do something that would be contrary to the
MTX consensus (unless there are compelling reasons and clear
consensus).

No. I don't mean that.

But that is not what we are doing, are we?

100%, you know my position, I want an open, neutral transparent and
fair DNSO.
