As ethically tone-deaf as OASIS has acted here so far, we shouldn't forget that the prime mover in all this has been the fuzzy constellation of civil servants and contractors that comprise the FEMA IPAWS PMO and its support element in DHS S&T.
This is precisely the sort of avoidable conflict between industry and bureacracy that led to formation of the EIC in the first place. If anything it's worse; the DMIS business was arguably inadvertant. Here we're seeing signs of an active effort to end-run industry, pack the OASIS EM TC with DHS contractors, and influence OASIS staff.
It stinks, and denial does nothing to reduce the smell.
