It is important to remember that the transition does not happen until we are done. That is the order of events. Not the other way around. We are not rushing to meet someone else's deadline because the transition cannot occur until we've got consensus and approval of the changes that must be made before it can occur. Sometimes we forget that we are the driving force in this timeline. Sometimes we think that we must rush to meet these dates, but that isn't how this process has actually been set up. I agree we need to continue to work quickly, but not because there is a limited window in the next 2 weeks to come up a proposal, but because we have a window in the next 4-6 months, and we should take that time to get it right.

Eberhard,

I believe the contract WILL be extended.

I agree content and getting accountability right is paramount.

I also believe there is a limited window of opportunity to secure a transition.

Dear Co-Chairs,

It is a FUNDAMENTAL issue, are we approaching this right or wrong?

I think we did this wrong right from the start, and are doing this wrong. If we are getting this wrong, a transition would not achieve what we all want.

There is no deadline which would make the transition fail, they will just extend the contract.

We must not sacrifice content, under ANY circumstances.
