Juergen and P1788,

Yes.  I hereby extend the discussion period for another three
weeks.  Discussion on the motion will now end on Tuesday, November 24,
instead of Tuesday, November 3.  Please update the information
on the web page, and please upload the revised motion and announce
it when it is ready.

William: Please record this action in the minutes.

Best regards,

Baker
