Loa,
I've just sent a response to Adrian. ITU is scheduled to consent this draft at the end of the month. Therefore this draft is very urgent.

ok - I can see the difference - and it seems that you are correct. If
the ITU discussion still has some way to go before the discussion
settles and the preferences better known - wouldn't it be appropriate to
wait until this happens?
Osama, care to comment?
