On consideration of the events.

Nat, Dick and myself may have a different underlying expectations of process than our American friends.

We come from Constitutional Monarchies vs Republics.   The only place there is fundamental difference between the systems is in cases like this.

That may be a contributing factor to what I hope is a simple misunderstanding.

Dick brought up how there could be a conflict during this process given that he is the chair of the Technical Committee. So for the time being I'll take on the chair role with Joseph Smarr (who wasn't at the meeting but I spoke to a few hours ago) taking on the co-chair role.
