FWIW I fully agree and that's why in a personal capacity I encouraged CSCG members to air their views on the /whether/ question on public lists as part of their constituent groups, rather than deliberating upon this within the CSCG, and they have done so.  So I think that although the criticism is well placed, the CSCG is not going down this wrong path.
