I sincerely do hope that we can keep this discussion friendly, if not productive!

I would be VERY surprised if matters of concern to the FT membership were not eventually made public. Little doubt, at the very least, any of those recommendations which Randy has reviewed and accepts will evidence themseves.

The "organizational" issues for a first and totally new TB, such as how to collate data, arrive at specific recommendations, voting mehanisms/logistics, etc., even simply how to officially submit recommendations to Randy & Co and how to best communicate with the FT membership as a whole are "massive" to say the least.

Admittedly I'm not the most patient guy in the world by nature, yet it is my assumption that they are quite "busy" at work - but also let's remember that members across many time zones and work schedules need to express themselves adequately on each item of interest - and come to some agreement also!

So let's please try our best to give 'em a bit of "slack." Thanks!
