I think I argued previously that attempting to make the documents the collective product of the RG was harmful to the quality of the documents, because they had the effect you note.  Please don't take it as a criticism of the editors, who have I think laboured to get contradictory opionions into some kind of coherence. That task is, however, pretty hard to make end well, and I think the draft suffers in clarity as a result.  I wish I had something to contribute that could help, but I don't.  It was in part my frustration with this path for documents that led me to conclude I couldn't contribute meaningfully here, which is why I mostly went silent.

Well, to the extent I contributed anything it was as a participant in the RG, which is already captured, so thanks for the adjustment!

Best regards,
