Just want to be super clear: there is no 'blaming' here. This is a<br>
request to regroup and look at why we are having this conversation about<br>
GBP now, this late in cycle, and about such fundamental topics (the<br>
choice of 'endpoint' as name is only one of them), after in-person<br>
conversations over more than one release cycle and summits.<br>
<br>
I am available for the meeting on Monday, Kyle.<br>
<br>
In order to prepare for the meeting we should agree on the scope of the<br>
root cause analysis. I think the problem should be framed around the<br>
message Mark McClain sent, especially the "Why this email" which I quote<br>
below:<br>

[...]<br>
<br>
I think the fact that this very fair question has been raised so late is<br>
the problem we need to find the cause for. Would you agree?<br>
<br>
We'll use time during the meeting on Monday to use a simple technique to<br>
investigate this deeply, no need to spend time now and via email.<br>
