I seem to recall that our (NCUC, perhaps not NPOC) view on the Board's 
decision to grant IOC/ICRC protections without a PDP represented the nose of 
the camel in the tent and that this would likely lead to an attempt by the 
rest of the IGO community to believe that they could expect similar 
treatment). Our prediction is coming true, and this is the rest of the camel 
being pushed into the tent. I fully support strong efforts to push for a 
proper measured PDP approach to solving this issue and against these ad hoc 
special treatments for special interests.
