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. -- Professor Andrew A Adams [log in to unmask] Professor at Graduate School of Business Administration, and Deputy Director of the Centre for Business Information Ethics Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan http://www.a-cubed.info/
