Thanks for taking a look and providing your comments Hadriel. As per 
previous discussions, we wanted to first agree on the scope of the 
document and whether there was still value in pursuing such a document. 
As per Gonzalo's e-mail starting this thread, do you have any 
comments/concerns on that part (if so, please let the authors know what 
those are) ?

Once (/if) we get agreement on the scope, we can then get into detail 
around the technical aspects of the document as per your comments above.

Thanks
