Actually, no - the main issue was whether the NomCom could have made the 
decision without going back to the caucus according to the rules. 
Everything stemmed from that. There was a lot of discussion on the 
actual decision made, but the central issue remains - was the NomCom 
overstepping its bounds to make the decision that it did - did it break 
the Caucus rules and charter. And some discussion as to how to adjust 
the rules so that future NomComs cannot break them.
