Sylvia,
If people bother to reply to you, they are not claiming defeat, just
questioning whether it is worthwhile putting any effort into another
government enquiry - particularly one labelled "innovation".
Why bother replying to me then as I have obviously already decided to
put in some effort? If it's not worth putting effort behind the
activity why waste time telling others to not bother either?
Sylvia,
Sorry I meant bothering to make a submission to the enquiry, rather than
responding on this or other lists.
By the way, using a mailing list seems a surprisingly (for 2008) innovative way
in which the the inquiry could have sought input if they were particularly
interested - which
you have indicated you are. Though you haven't clarified what the panel is you
referred to or in what capacity you are involved.
From my own perspective, I would like to hear other views whether the enquiry
is interested or capable of taking them on board or not - I think they are
relevant to the governance of ICT.

Saying your
not interested in viewpoints that may diverge from your enthusiasm for this
enquiry doesn't encourage any positive input what so ever.
I am not asking about positive input, I am asking about constructive
input. I am no more or no less critical about the potential of a
positive outcome of this effort. But at least I can say I tried to
help.
By the way the chair of the committee who wrote this report was Brand Hoff
of Tower Software

Thanks for the constructive input. :-)
Cheers,
Silvia.
