Wolfgang,
This was indeed my understanding: this is why I have not mentioned who made
which statement, except for formal presentations or for Fadi's statements,
where I was assuming he was speaking in his official capacity.
However, I still think that a short summary, even in the form of a bullet
point list of the ideas circulated, whether there was agreement or not,
could be useful to the wider community who did not have the opportunity to
participate. Otherwise we take the risk of not making out the most from the
investment in time and resources that an important event, like the
Studienkreis, represents for the community.
Maybe in Sofia we can address also this subject, and do like it is customary
for brainstorming formats: you record the bullet points, without commenting
on who raised the point nor whether it was applauded or booed. It will be
food for thought to others.
Cheers,
Roberto
