Avri, That was the point of my original message. The board claims to speak for the global public and to be able to divine its interest; we (CCWG) claim also to speak for the global public and to be able to divine its interest. This conflict will NOT be resolved by defining GPI. It is the _application_ of some conception of GPI to any particular issue that will be contentious. So let's accept the fact that we will be debating applications, not definitions. And the applications will be shaped by how the parties are affected.
-----Original Message----- As long as the Board is not calling on GPI as their reason for countering the community's proposals, I can agree. But as long as they are in a position to declare that as their reason for anything, we are forced to deal with the issue. The Board does not define the GPI. We all work on understanding it together.
