Correct. But you would need to check the entities they represent and there in lies the issue. Visits by M$ were done and am sure those visits "subtly" weighed in the vote. > Can we ask for explanation from the ITSC regarding this?

I have asked for this for a long time and am working with some within the current parliament to have this - but that is a separate debate. Please ask, email, whatever, as to how the decision was arrived at. I am honour bound not to reveal, in public, what transpired at the meeting.
