Without an explicit commitment, it seems we cannot dismiss the possibility of yet another cycle like this latest one. Perhaps the condition of agreeing to proposed edit?

I am concerned that the Board's position on the GAC carve-out reference Board recall, could/would be equally applied to the above situation. I believe now, before a final decision is made, is the time to clarify that matter.

I'm also puzzled as to how Board Members, and the CEO, can simply pitch up and pitch in, late in the game.

Disagree. There are formal requirements for participating in the CCWG.
There are indeed
It's a minimal requirement, but a necessary one The fact that the requirement is minimal is no excuse for dispensing with it extrajudicially. In fact, it's no excuse at all, since if it is minimal, anyone who wanted to be Participant has a very low hurdle.
No gerrymandering, please. [...]
