This makes sense, because the AIP document certainly reads as though it were
written by one person, probably Bret Fausett. As to not consulting the
membership, I seem to recall that the few members of the INTA who contribute
to the lists said they, in the same way, were never consulted on the
drafting of the INTA document. 

These people who write unilateral bylaws proposals that call for an open,
democratic, and accountable DNSO seem to be saying "Do what I say, not what
I do". Teaching by example would be a better and more convincing method.
