    Eric,
    

     
    

    I'm not completely following what you are saying here?  Why
should we be eliminating committee debate?
    

     
    

    Having just one company - one vote - is likely
to mean that companies invest LESS effort in committees - and
surely that is a bad thing?  Also bad is the notion that company
staff cannot freely work out differences in the TC process - or
participate openly - for me that is the essense of what OASIS is - not
fettered by company mandates - but open peer review.  
    

     
    

    I'd hate to see the situation where we are
institutionalizing companies working behind closed doors to determine
their own position(s) and then bringing that to the TC.  Much
better that the TC foster open debate.
    

     
    

    OASIS is supposed to be a public process that
maximizes participation  - how is what you are saying in
alignment with that?
    

     
    

    Thanks, DW

I agree that it is much more useful for companies members to have the 
discussion in the open within a TC. The cases I have seen where the 
discussion is in the open, the TC has been able to understand that 
position and move forwards much more easily.
