    <p>Hi Lucilla,</p>
    <p>1.  I personally never asked any author to withdraw anything.<br>
      2.  I believe the current wording is perfectly clear; as such:<br>
      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?<br>
    </p>
    <p>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.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Kind Regards,<br>
      Jaco<br>

          <div>considering the contest, clearly, we are not facing any
            of the emergencies you mentioned.  Remaining closer to the
            purpose of the discussion, the current recall process opens
            the door to several doubts. The incompletion of the call

                      brought it forward to the RPD community for
                      discussion. Likewise, the personal attack needs to
                      stop, saying that the co-chairs are imitating the
