discussion period begins, until Jan. 26: "natural interval extension": friendly amendment to M001.02
Dear Colleagues
I am afraid I forgot to launch the discussion period before the Christmas break.
I suggest a 2-weeks discussion period, as there seems to be no opposition
to this amendment (seconded by Michel Hack). The discussion period starts
now and ends Tuesday, January 26, when the voting period begins.
Best wishes for a Happy New Year!
Best regards
Nathalie
