With due respect, this committee decided by a democratic majority vote to have a steering committee. We think this is precisely the function of the steering committee. We are asking you to honour the decision made by the committee to have a steering committee help us adjudicate these matters. With all respect, this idea of paper floating in and out, and you being the sole control point, and that somehow that is going to be more efficient than putting four people on the telephone line for two hours to sort it out once and for all, and if there's a problem to have it come back to this committee, is crazy.
