Mary,

Just because NCSG councillors supported the formation of the WG and our 
members engaged in its work does not mean that we are bound as an SG to 
support the outcomes, particularly if the report from our members was that 
both the process of the WG and the outcomes are deeply flawed. Voting No to 
throw out the current draft because it is too deeply flawed sends a message 
that bad "legislation" should never be adopted just because a lot of work has 
gone into its creation. Too much of that goes in in national parliaments. A 
motion to throw out the current draft as unworkable and take a new approach 
by starting off with discussions with the other SOs and other stakeholders is 
a sensible acceptance of failure. Those who cannot accept failure in the past 
and move on from it are doomed to continue to fail and fail more badly than 
those who accept their failures and learn from them.
