I am having trouble understanding the conversation.
We have a clear agreement that we are not going to standardize on transport for 
NSH.
SK> Is the charter written in stone that it is not amendable, if gaps are found 
?

And even more that we are not going to pick "one".
SK> Charter has a gap here. It is equivalent of designing a car without the 
wheels. And wheels are not accessories.

Surendra.

So yes, this draft describes a valid and useful way to transport NSH. 
there are many such.

Yours,
Joel
