Rene, I suggest that you talk to Gaby off-line, since apparently there is
less than desirable contribution from an important vendor for the Ecosystem IS.
(It might take time for that vendor to form a consolidated opinion, which is
fine.)

Seek to identify issues of contention early; I don't want to spend days
in CWG on wording review for something that is unlikely to get consensus
in plenary.
