You should also note Joe Sims' reply:

    Milton, not only are your views minority, but your characterizations
    and facts are wrong.  As Stuart described in detail in the original
    draft, and at the public forum meeting in Stockholm, this is a
    statement of existing policy, not an attempt to change policy or
    create new policy.  You are free to disagree, but for some reason it
    appears that the only way you know how to disagree is to attack the
    motives of the other side.  This is not an effective technique, and
    may at least partially explain why you are so often in the minority. 
    In addition, the Board in Stockholm authorized Stuart to finalize
    and publish this document as a statement of existing policy; perhaps
    you were out of the room.  If you disagree with the policy, feel
    free to seek to change it; all you have to do is to convince enough
    others so as to generate consensus support for your position.  FWIW,
    I think this would be a challenge on this particular subject, where
    it appears that the vast majority of those in the community who do
    not have adverse economic interests agree with the current policy,
    but you are certainly free to try.
