Yes - more balance

Is that really the best you've got?

Attacking the messenger doesn't bode well for your chances in court now, does it?

Rather than an attempt to distract attention from the *real* merits of this case, perhaps you could explain:

How ten against fast tracking it with one in favour can be written off as "no consensus", but four in favour of fast tracking with one against suddenly becomes "consensus"?

How you could even have a vote over a document that had not even been seen by anyone voting

Bottom line - the general ISO line of "trust us" and "stop being nasty about us" doesn't hold any water. It's time to explain yourselves in the full glare of public attention, and *prove* that your processes were all fair and above board. This isn't about anyone else, this is about the *BSI* and what *they* have done...
