>
>   Indeed, I remind you that some of the deliverables rejected in the 1st

> Open Specifications of the IoT chapter (where Ericsson played a major role)

> of the merits of rest of the partners who had recovered without the help of

> the additional 2,6 PMs would therefore be rather generous indeed.
