Therefore I am prepared to accept the present suggestion: not to hinder the process towards Seoul, but to request that major decisions about the future of what would become in future of the heritage of the NCUC should be kept open, to be solved - within a year. As many have said: and what if the board does NOT accept our friendly half way discussion proposals? This is a real difficult point to be considered mainly in case it becomes necessary.
