That's not a summary. That are the titles of the documents.

yeah, but I don't need your help for that :-)

I believe presenting the outline of the ideas would be more stimulating
than just pointing at papers other people have written. I have read
the papers you mention. 
I don't think voting is an appropriate approach to agree on a design.

What we need is IMO a technical discussion on the merrits of the
various approaches. That's why I'm asking for a short abstract
(yours, not the ones in the papers).
