No, I didn't say that, I said that people have *wanted* to
discuss them for months but they haven't been formally
discussed -- last nights meeting was the *first* time they
were discussed -- look back at all the notes of the
meetings, the discussion was always *postponed*...

Personally I have *never* had the oppertunity to say why I
think it would be good to adopt the PGA hallmarks at a
meeting (though of course I could have has I been there
last night...)...

This isn't true. Nobody has suggested that they be adopted
without consensus and nobody has suggested that they are
the *only* thing that the group should adopt -- look at
the text Helen wrote (and wasn't given the oppertunity to
propose to the meeting it was written for):

This text doesn't represent a "single set of principles"
does it?
