(As [the other] Chair) Alexander, do you support (or object to) adoption of POSH as a working group item? Keep in mind that adoption doesn't imply the draft is complete or even correct, just that it's the best way forward. I expect we would continue this discussion, among other technical discussions. Thanks! Ben.
