It is clear from the advocacy list, that the announcement was made prematurely and did not convey the intended message either clearly or completely. It is clear from reading both lists that much of the anger is based upon false assumptions, misinformation and incomplete editing of the leaked document. I (just a user) ask that the petition effort be delayed until the official announcement is made and the issues can be drawn out and discussed more clearly. Humbly and respectfully, Andrew Gould
