Just to confirm, there is no issue with individuals sending messages of support on a proposal to the mailing list. The Chairs consider them all as part of the process. However, as I also stated, this is not a vote, this is a discussion which may or may not
lead to a consensus of the working group and community and anyone who is emailing the list, or encouraging others to do so, should be aware of that.</div>
