there was no advisory group at that time.  Chicken egg etc.  So don't 
blame MAG for something it could not have been involved with.

A consultation was held on modalities.  People contributed and there 
was discussion.  Someone had to decided what the consensus of that 
meeting was so things could move forward.  Or we would still be 
discussion modalities now and there would not have been a meeting in 
Athens...  This isn't a Ph.D. that might get finished one day.  It's 
arranging an very large semi-governmental, international conference. 
Would be nice if you could pop into the real world occasionally.
