Anything that I said against it being a personal decision? Or it against it
being an open caucus?

>that membership is up to each of the individual participants 

You again seem to make the distinction between member and participant, which
I used to develop my logic in the last email, in interpreting the charter.

I also asked it at the time of voting only, and for the purpose of voting.

Still cant understand why we wrote that line in membership clause ' who
subscribe to the charter of the caucus'. In this spirit I expect to soon
hear that all that lofty stuff in vision and mission, and objectives is also
as meaningless. There is no group upholding any special collective vision
and values and seeking to organize to do some specific set of activities in
direction of certain goals. Well..
