I suppose that the set of SC members who read this list is non-empty.
But otherwise, to whom should I send an email?

I am understanding the "we" as "the GCC Steering Committee". Could I
infer that I already asked the SC?

Thanks for the information! I wrongly misunderstood that the decision
has already been made (or at least that it was already decided to
postpone the decision to an hypothetical GPLv4 or whatever)

Still, I am waiting for a[nother] reply from licensing@ and will do
whatever they want, hoping that they wont ask me to remove all :doc
annotation.

Cheers.

PS. The point is that from my far point of sight/view, understanding who
is the "GCC Steering Comittee" [other that the few people speaking as SC
at GCC Summit] and who is the "FSF" is very unclear. I really don't
understand at all how all this human network works. Besides, I perceive
that most of these people work non-publicly (which BTW is the expected
way of working these political issues; the French April works likewise).
But please understand that I don't understand at all these things.
