[WSIS CS-Plenary] About comments to the documents

[Rik Panganiban]

John,

I think it means that the drafters will do their best to make everyone 
happy.  But being a document that incorporates the views and proposals 
from multiple sources, everyone should be understanding if their input 
is not incorporated exactly as submitted.

Those of course who feel that their input was not adequately addressed 
do not have to endorse the document.
