This is more than disappointing, and i refrain from using stronger
words, but not easily. I don't even know who the 6 voting members of
NCSG were, but i know who Mr. Graham is .... and i can assure you he
never stroke me as having special affinity for non-commercial
interests, however one understands them. He is a capable man, don't
get me wrong, just not one that will think non-commercial first. Nor
distant second, i would be inclined to think.<br>
<br>
I don't know if i'm at ease with forcing any voting person to
explain their turnabout (i don't have a clear picture of the
representational/legitimacy scheme at play here) but i will find it
very hard not to find this disgraceful absent explanations.<br>
<br>
Absent explanations I will also find it hard not to presume ― as
people in these sort of things usually have a clear understanding of
who's going to vote for who ― that the two changes were not planned
beforehand. I mean to say that absent explanations i will be tempted
to believe that the first vote was merely a ploy directed at people
like me (moderately in the know) to obscure the true leaning of some
voters. <br>
<br>
Now i am merely vetting shamelessly my own emotional deficiencies.
It is up to you ― whoever you are ―to put my presumptions to rest or
not. <br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Nicolas<br>
