Jonathan:
I agree there is no model that guarantees equality. I'm just plumbing for
equality of opportunity to influence outcomes. It's always the results that
matter.

And as it is now, end user interests are sorely disadvantaged, even with
the confluence of these fluid alliances it appears you and I value and
support.

I have seen several times where the end user interest is coincident, even
assist the conjugation of the BC and IPC interests. And I believe we should
hug those and work them thru the fire.

But all in, we're  working against  a stacked deck in current framework.
