Some corrections and comments on last week's minutes:

For the record, that's not an entirely accurate reflection of my 
perspective, which isn't inline with that of the editorial committee. 
The phrasing *could* be read as suggesting that I am anti-CG, or that I 
think there is a conflict between Sun and the current Website 
Project/CG, and that certainly isn't the case.

Personally I have no clear idea what the opinions of remaining 
participants of the Website Project/CG are, could I suggest that the OGB 
asks them directly?
