We don't know the answer to that. Of course, because we don't know why a decision was taken to offer something that was so limited and really, I think at least to outside appearances, therefore meaningless, the conclusion that groups are left to draw is that there wasn't real interest in hearing from the grassroots on-the-ground organizations that had information to share. I hope that's not the case. I hope there could be some other kind of explanation, but without an explanation and such a flawed process, people understandably draw those kinds of conclusions.
