Re: [Rfced-future] WGLC Review of the draft

[Eliot Lear <[e-mail]>]

Good morning, Carsten,

The way the RSAB still has some pretty strong checks in the two bullets 
that were established: anything that might harm a stream and anything 
that might cause harm to the overall series.  We have also added the 
RSAB's ability to trigger a broader review to further involve the 
broader community.  And now we will have a third RSAB check which would 
be failure of consensus of the broader community.

You get to decide: is that enough?
