Hi Cameron, I note you say disappointed rather than surprised.
I agree, & if the contents are not made public, or at least provided to all paying OGC members & all voting OGC members, then I fail to see how the OGC can honestly claim the vote in any way reflects the preferences of its membership, rather than a vote by some members who were under some sort of pressure from a large multinational company.

I'm disappointed that such information is being with held from public debate.
