[Egyptian] submitting proposal

Dear All,

Let me first thank our kind hosts for bringing so many experts together in Cambridge,
both from the UTC and Egyptologists working on corpus linguistics. As far as I know, 
this was a unique event, creating an extraordinary opportunity to make progress. 
I learned a lot from discussions with UTC members and with Egyptologists.

As for the prospect of a consensus proposal, there is no consensus. The recent emails made
this very clear. 

Time is running out. If no new proposal is submitted now, we have to wait many more months
for the next opportunity, and there is no guarantee (and personally I think no hope at all)
there would be anything resembling a full or partial consensus then.

We (TLA/Ramses/St Andrews) are therefore submitting a revised proposal to the UTC, which 
is grosso modo the version that I distributed during the weekend. 

For me, this ends the discussion for the time being.

Best regards,
 Mark-Jan
