Yes - well, the committee is not negotiating with
anyone as far as I
am informed.
The email at the start of this thread talks about "coordinating
responses". Responses are part of negotiation, if the committee is
part of the responses then the committee is part of the negotiations.
As long as the committee sticks to brainstorming and sharing ideas, I
have no problem, but if it starts agreeing on what to say to the WMF
anyone without a lawyer should withdraw until they have one.
I don't know the intentions of the chapters, but "coordinating
responses" does not necessarily mean filing a shared response.
Rather, it might mean making sure that the various responses delivered
separately are mutually supportive.
