Comments from Tom Hamilton

Hi Daniela:



I agree with Richard’s message below. The original poll would have benefitted from the addition of the questions that Richard has suggested.

The bias in the original line of questioning is obvious, and Richards questions would help.



This whole voting process has become exceedingly tedious.



It seems that the committee has made up its mind and will continue flogging the same old horse until they get their way.

Efforts to get their own way through wordsmithing and tweaking the language to hide its true intent will not work.



Science must have its day in the sun.

Politics must not win over science.



RP 0169 is being turned into a joke by the committee/voting process.

As a Recommended Practice it has merit.

As a Standard, the science must match the requirements.

Until that fundamental situation has been dealt with, no amount of voting and re-voting will lead to the creation of a successful consensus document.



Tom
