I see that in this statement that contradict their earlier claim to openness. 
Only recognized organizations' comments are welcome and will be seriously
considered.

And this shows the disdain that this group has for online participation.  Face
to face meetings are the only way they are willing to conduct business, and
this really does serve their purposes well, by excluding those who are unable
to attend for whatever reason.

backroom deals could have on all of us.
