Markus,

Perhaps you would like to outline a draft policy?

I would be pleased if we had some sort of policy on this sort of
activity before making a decision, though I don't consider it critical.

My hope is that we can reach some conclusion on this topic at our
upcoming board meeting scheduled for June 6th.  Till then it isn't
necessary for us to reach consensus, though I'd appreciate folks at
least getting their opinions out for consideration before then so
we aren't hearing too many ideas for the first time in the phone call.

Best regards,
--
