J_R,
What debate? The EC is not considering the proposals, they've all ready considered the proposals and voted to affirm them.
Why is it so hard for you to see that DB is playing politics with this whole thing? Are you really that much of a Pollyanna that you can't understand his agenda?
As DavidR said, and the 3D guys are finding out, if other modelers don't get behind this he can put their activity in his sights and wreak just as much havoc as he has done to the turbine sector.
Anyone want to bet he gets his way, just like he has for the last 12 years?
Regards,
Jon
