But, I think that some of you would know much better than I do in terms of political meaning of either term and sensibility in using one of the terms over another.

We are hoping to do this by the end of next week (week of April 22) if not, sometime in the following week.  I hope that this & similar work by other friends would help keep our discussion moving forward and to hear from you some feedback.
