So you are not against the proposal's ideas, but against the timing of the proposal (I'd lie if I said I didn't have any reservations on the schedule either). I can understand that. (I was about to post a flame, then I actually read the email, and noticed that all your points were about the timing) I'd like to know your opinion on the proposal's ideas now.
