	I think that Caroline makes a good point.  It's perfectly
reasonable for
folks preparing position papers to want some extra time to think about
these new developments, and whether they may affect their own positions
or
arguments.  I don't think a one-week extension is out of line; we all
have
day jobs, and the new documents are both complex and important.

	There's a cost to this:  The Names Council is expecting a report
by
October 15.  Extending the deadline for initial position papers to
October
8 means that we won't get the completed interim report done when
promised.
My inclination is that we should extend the initial deadline by a week,
and
beg the indulgence of the members of the Names Council.  But I haven't
had
the chance to consult with Javier, and I will defer to him if he thinks
otherwise.
