What I don't understand is why anybody would maintain that they are not already *included*?  They are the ones 
on the Names Council, not us.  If what they really wanted was public outreach feedback before they went ahead 
and made whatever decision they're going to make... why bother taking part in the feedback?  For good or ill? Why 
bother?  Unless, it's really no bother, and they have nothing more pressing to attend to... I don't know.  I'm just 
conjecturing here, perhaps you can help here, Greg.

Idealism and realism don't mix very well.
