I just responded to John on this point.

In the last call, a participant spoke about fear about "orchestrated
campaign", capture and manipulation, of a public consultation process.
(Kavouss objected to this.). I have read people hee say, we are going
into uncharted territories, digging a big hole for ourselves, etc etc in
sending out Q 4 ... Is this not being "afraid" of a simple informational
process?. So, indeed, I am putting no words in any one's mouth, this is
what has been amply spoken over here.
