Absent progress on re-chartering, I'm not sure there is a "procedure"
for us to follow, as such.

(Aside: the re-chartering is mostly in my court. Apologies for the lack
of progress. I will dedicate some attention to this within the next few
days)

Lacking that, I would suggest that *on this item*:
- We await the outcome of the legal due diligence that Yogesh has
  indicated is being done;
- Assuming that comes back with a thumbs-up, we take some time to
  provide our input as a WG on the details of the implementation we
  would like to see, with a view to arriving at something the staff
  considers deployable; and
- Do a quick last call on the proposed solution (maybe 1-2 weeks) to
  give stragglers an opportunity to be heard.

If anyone would like to propose an alternative to the above plan, please
speak up as soon as possible. Silence will be interpreted as consent.

Cheers,

Ben
