      I agree with Paul.  We need a process that is workable and
      efficient.  The last thing we need is a process that will repeat
      the quarrelsome and time-consuming exercise we just went through
      with even more administrative matters.  Let’s try to stay focused
      on the substance of what we are here to do and not get sucked into
      opportunities for endless argument on administrative issues that
      we had set up this committee to deal with previously.
