[CCWG-ACCT] A way to avoid the 'The Single Member Can Do Anything!' problem

[Kavouss Arasteh]

Dear Bruce
What you said is right.
I fully agree with you.
Pls read my earléier message that the Board as an executive body shall not
participate in nlegistative body ( Sole Mmember ) due to the fact that the
begining of CCWG was Separation of Powers  e.g. in a democratic Approach ,
the Hose Speaker can not be the prime Minister or a deputy can not be a
Minister
Regards
Kavouss
