David, there are plenty examples were it has created a political
environment controlling the WHAT, WHO and WHEN not necessarily
reflecting what the tax paying community needed or required.

Mike, I agree with you on both counts, not having kept up with times
and that governmental intervention is not the way forward.
Speaking of change of times, how about boring a page or two from the
"Open Source" community? Why can't we develop standards in a similar
fashion? With today's collaboration technologies and the Web,
standards can be developed without the need for face-to-face meetings
in a self-governed environment reducing the financial resources
required drastically to a bare minimum. Just thinking out loud.
