I’m very pleased that we’ve found the courage to say that we want to make a 
decision.

I concur that there is interest in CSID.  However, as we have not yet done a 
consensus check to select the specific proposal, I hope that this is not your 
assertion that CSID is the result. This is a major decision by the WG and it 
does deserve a formal and explicit check.

If the authors of the CSID proposal, or any proposal, would like to revise 
their proposals before we make a selection, this would seem to be an opportune 
time.
