as observers, i do not believe they are part of consensus formation  
other then as participants in the debate. I believe the plan calls for  
full consensus of the members and is specific in differentiating  
between members and other participants.  If this is not clear, which i  
think it is, then perhaps we need another amendment.

wouldn't that be up to the committee itself in terms of determining  
their methods?
