Well, if Peter had not of insisted on a complete document, I would
have...and before you try to blame me, as you just did Peter, I would have
done so becuase that's what I believe Policy 4 mandates.

I can tell you another thing....each and every time supporters or proposers
of policy change take it upon themselves to accuse RCs of something
negative in relation to the process, they loose a certain amount of
credibility.

Of course, it is gratifing to note that I am not the only RC accused of
attempting to disrupt things.
