You will note that ORSC is the ONLY one who posted anything about this meeting
PUBLICLY. You found out about it from a post from Stef on a public list.
Please tell me Michael that you can figure out the intent of that post? If not
I made it pretty clear above. My posting that message publicly, it indeed
forced some of the details of this meeting to be public, and in affect took the
wind out of their attempt to conduct a closed door meeting.

Michael, you wouldn't even know about it now if it wasn't for ORSC. So please
pray tell how that makes ORSC hippocrits.
It was public corrspondence about this meeting that brought the details into
public light. I surely hope you are intelligent enough to figure that out.
(And please note I am not an ORSC member, but I do participate on their mailing
list, and often differ with their positions).
