Hi Jordi,
Thanks for the description; brother!

Please, note that, a DPP proposal in its most
mature version must be written in a manner
such that a minimun bunch of safeguards is
defined...in my opinion ;-)
Therefore, what has be suggested by Sami
(thanks brother) is the wisest approach; imho!
We can't procrastinate here.

Why? simply because if we don't follow that
advice, then we could end up with a broken
DPP adopted and its companion DPP leaved
aside...as the Murphy's Law [1] may apply.

...my choice is to start with what we can do
right now.

...i'm not sure that, Policy Liaison Team have
to decide in last resort in this question. Their
impact analysis is always welcome; indeed :-)

Thanks.

Shalom,
--sb.
