I think we have converged on the hybrid proposal. Anyone else got any 
opinions? In particular, anyone opposing the proposal?

Correct. That's what I called as the 'very small' anonymity set. My 
point was that: within this anonymity set, they were not comfortable 
revealing the identity of the individual comments, hence 'anonymous' or 
'unnamed' FATT member in [0]. But that's fine because all of them are 
respectable field experts.

Thank you. If the hybrid proposal goes well, I think FATT might be more 
willing to make intra-FATT open as well. So let's go with the hybrid 
proposal, and revisit open proposal at some point in the future.

Best regards,
