I don't know about "the powers that be", but speaking for myself I don't 
have problems with the "people" behind the proposal as individuals, but with 
their lack of representativity of the population they claim to speak for, 
together with the lack of capability to aggregate new forces and new 
subjects.
You rightfully mention that the proposal has been floating around for 2+ 
years, and in fact the numbers behind it have not grown substantially.

Until we are not able to present a proposal that can have the support of a 
substantially higher population (by involving consumer organizations, user 
groups, other individuals) "the powers that be" will have at least a good 
excuse for not recognizing the constituency.

Regards
Roberto
