I do agree that the second proposal is strictly speaking a deviation<br>
from the process. And this will contradict 3.3 of the CPM which<br>

I'm of the opinion though that with the consensus so far there are not<br>
any real objections to deviation from this process, obviously with the<br>
understanding that this is exceptional circumstances, and can thus be<br>
considered an emergency, as such, 3.6 of the CPM in my (not a lawyer)<br>
