I agree with all of your points and hope you will contribute to finding the
right language in our position paper to reflect both the need for long-term
goals and the value of at least starting off with something one can build
upon. One of my motives was to help keep the door open for those who wish
to join the process later without too much embarassment. I also agree that
we need to investigate all technological options. I am certainly not an
expert in this field and am willing to learn from those who see more Global
Mitigation Potential in some of the currently proposed technologies than I do.
With best regards
Klaus
