Hi Kiran, Thanks for your comments. I hope that in this working group we will take care to ensure all voices are heard. It is possible, as we move forward, that there may be one or two holdouts who refuse to agree to with the arguments that others raise. I believe that is how you have sought to characterise me. I would hope that where our perspectives differ, my views can be seen not seen as a roadblock but as a form of dissidence which prevents us from falling into the dangerous trap of collective blindness. Maybe I will be right, maybe I will be wrong. Both are possible outcomes. I tend not to be swayed by those who simply say I am wrong, but I do listen to evidence and if opposing opinions are put forward outlining why I am mistaken, I absolutely take these comments onboard. So of course we will be able to “have confidence in the process” that the Leadership team for this working group has proposed, because consensus is not when everyone in the group is simply in agreement with something, consensus is when we reach a result that is fed with inputs from everyone. Like you, I plan on listening to and respecting the inputs of others, and I remain open-minded to the final outcome. But it wouldn't be useful for me or for anyone else to simply hide in the corner quietly disagreeing. Best wishes, Ayden
