An open list that was TOTALLY ignored and in which NO drafting occurred.

Drafting of these documents should of been done in public.  As it is your own
drafting team is now condemning your proposal as not being anything like what
they came up with.  What good is a public list that is not used as a part of
the process?  I'll answer : No good at all. You don't have an open list at all.
