OK thanks. So, the panel is a think tank, and an influential one - that
much is evident. But to support and/or join forces with whatever views
originate from the panel is a decision that'll probably get taken based on
whatever input comes from the panel, and how open they are in engaging with
other, similar groups in this space to coordinate their inputs.
The press release did say that it is being expande to include more members,
and that too might be ideal.
thanks
