It wasn't really meant as an alternative proposal. And tt shouldn't be
in conflict with finding alternative sources of funding, creating a
technical advisory committee or having some managed services. And it
is a about having a public discussion.

Then lets just let the past be the past. Now that the proposal is
public lets discuss it publicly. There have been various question
about the details on the overseers list. Lets just discuss those and
see how we can move forward.
