+=+ High praise indeed.  The committee did work hard - and 
between meetings it is not easy to communicate effectively with 
a timespan of nineteen hours between our earliest riser and the 
last to get out of bed. In Shanghai there was a prodigious effort 
to look at everything anyone was still uneasy about. I take my 
hat off to my colleagues for their diligence. Of course, the laws 
are still not perfect since [ :-) ] I did not get my way in everything. 
Yet, in the end I was able to feel that overall we had done a 
sound job,  that much was clearer than before and that the 
novelties introduced are improvements (even if the chairman's  
hint at increased demand for perceptive directing is justified).
