The co-chairman for the workshop, Professor Roman Kezerashvili, had set a challenge, for the participants to come up with some short wording as a statement about some of our discussions. Work started on this during the Wednesday evening after dinner with a short informal meeting over until the late hours between Robert Kennedy III, Robert Freeland, Kelvin F. Long, Alexandra Limpert and Jeremy Munday. In addition, some email contributions were received, in particular from Brent Ziarnick of the US Air Force. Kelvin Long then pulled all the text together overnight, and then in the morning some word surgery was applied by Robert Kennedy and Robert Freeland.
The text was then shown to several people during the morning, including C Bangs, Kari Weatherbee, Gregory Matloff, Roman Kezerashvili, Elena Ancona, Harold White. During the first coffee break participants were shown an earlier version of it and then the final version was put up at the end of the day and closed off at 17.50 hours as a declared consensus of majority. The purpose of this was really to see if a diverse group of individuals could come up with something in such a short time, and the participants stepped up to the mark and performed.
