The unexpected creation of this voting list and once again a rush 
decision raise several questions about
transparency and procedure. I have no time to delibrate on these issues 
right now so Ill get back later on.

One part of the proposed voting procedure that must change is:
"No response from any voting members will be interpreted as a "yes" vote. "

No responce from a "not present members" must be counted as "not adding 
to the quorum" and not as Yes!

There are serious issues regarding the BPSS that must be addressed re. 
the Secretariats view regarding ebXML.
See
