Hi Lucilla,
1. I personally never asked any author to withdraw anything.
2. I believe the current wording is perfectly clear; as such:
3. Could you please clarify - by way of reference to the CPM text -
clarify what doubts (uncertainty, ambiguity) do you read in the text as
it's written?
4. I did state my support that I don't see an emergency here and that
both the proposal and the recall process should follow the existing
established processes.
Kind Regards,
Jaco
