That's a bit insulting to the standards people in Canada and France.

If you say so.  My understanding was that the whole thrust of the discussion was to find a reason to withdraw part 2, so that's what went into the minutes and resolutions.  Given the relative priorities of current projects and given the SC22 decision made since the Garching meeting, WG5 could put this one on the back burner.
