Hi Xiaohu,

In fact, the situation is even more straightforward than that.  When we
started work on this topic, we gave ourselves a two year schedule.  When we
had not reached rough consensus within that time, we gave ourselves another
whole year to converge.  So, this has hardly been a rush.

Regards,
Tony
