If there's a concern about bias then let's address it directly. Personally
while I have a view on the technical direction, as the Vice Chair of the
Technical Committee I'm committed to making progress and taking
an unbiased approach toward the contract proposal. While it seems like this
thread started out of a miscommunication, I would hope that my message
showed that I was trying to help move the proposal forward.
