It's always so entertaining when you contradict your self like this
-- Indeed, it wasn't an election. Therefore, the idea that ballot
stuffing was going on is ludicrous.
In fact it wasn't just the *number* of comments that caused the
retreat from the Green Paper -- it was their substance. Not only did
the quantity of comments matter, so did their quality, and who they
were from, and who was represented by them...
The fact remains, the shared registry model is in the White Paper.
That's why NSI is going through these contortions -- perhaps you've
noticed?
