Hi,

I feel that the disingenuous attitude of those who have been competing for
their Registry vs. Registrar position just went one step too far with the
exclusion of the S&W materials today.  From my viewpoint some have been
doing their best to exclude material and viewpoints they did not approve of
from the beginning: whether it was excluding people for word usage,
excluding polls because the did not match some unheard standard of
scientific selection, or now the exclusion of economists viewpoint they did
not like but for which they never offered a countering view - waiting until
the last minute to exclude the info from the report.  The number of things
people want excluded from the report so that no one outside the group reads
them is disturbing and something I want to document.  The report should be
complete report of what was discussed and not pruned to favor one point of
view.  Given todays' activities, I no longer believe there is a way to dust
this off so hanging in there!
  would have been disingenuous on my part.  So I become a minority who
stands in opposition to the process that is producing this report.  

Day by day I watched as the group process was abused but still I hoped.  It
wasn't until today that the one last straw was cast.  I do not believe this
report will represent the view of a group that genuinely tried to reach
consensus and will use the minority report to say so.
