Let me second Kent's statements and add that I am not surprised of 
the outcome. Open WGs on sensitive subjects are cans of worms. The
first such can was opened during the IAHC's days - and the US DOC
banged their fist on the table and did whatever they wanted to do,
disregarding the discussions. 4 years later I feel like it's deja-vu...
