[Values-ethics] Ethical Dimensions revision

[Laina Raveendran Greene]

Dear Ralph,

I too would like to commend you for including a section on Ethical
dimensions and also for all the great work you are doing volunteering your
time for CS on this CS draft. It is much appreciated. 

>From the Values and Ethics caucus, we did not have the luxury of time, not
to mention "space" given our timeframe differences, etc to truly work on a
text that we all could be fully satisfied with. Given the time constraints,
we are grateful for the efforts of Liberato and Max in putting something
together, albeit rushed. We do consider your inputs and observations, and
truly look forward to working with you and others in CS, with more a little
more time to deliberate and make morpe concise and impactful inputs in the
future. I trust in the end you will do your best to keep the spirit of what
we intended to include.t

Once again, thanks for the valiant efforts of all involved.

Best,
Laina

Ralf,
Please find attached a few revisions that I am suggesting for the "Ethical
Dimensions" section of the CS statement. Most of my changes are simply
editorial tightening of the sentences, plus a repositioning of a couple of
sentences, with one sentence in the fourth paragraph moved to the third
paragraph. The first sentence in the fifth and last paragraph is not a new
substance but a replacement of the whole deleted sentence in the middle of
that paragraph in a way that gives context.
 
I thank you for what you have incorporated from the original Values and
Ethics Caucus contribution to the overall CS statement.
Liberato

Not sure how this happened (it just happened again when I tried to save it
as rtf), but here it is again - in doc format now, unfortunately.
