Hi John,

The announcement was not supposed to /justify/ the actual issue. This is 
what a large portion of the second side meeting is for (as mentioned in 
the draft agenda in the announcement). In any case, we believe the title 
is a faithful representation of the work. I'll be happy to go through 
the details of formalization to justify this in the side meeting.

Did you have a chance to read the high-level overview pointer [6] in the 
original announcement? Could you please be more specific on what exactly 
confuses you in that? And I think it is more appropriate to discuss it 
in that thread and not this one.

Thanks,

Usama
