Gang, Below is a draft, I hope we can manage to get into the Board meeting on the 19th August. Everyone, please read it extremely carefully, try to find any spelling mistakes or cut/paste mistakes that I may have done, and compare it with previous podling-to-TLP resolutions and point out if you find any differences. Mistakes may be the difference of approval or delays... so put in some effort.
