Erm. What on Earth do you mean, "no"? Mark was entirely correct - that is exactly the policy we came up with back in January 2004, when we wrote the policies in the first place.
Saying "no", and that "we would call up" is... odd. You are not Jimbo. In fact, the number of people who are not Jimbo is quite astonishingly large. "You" will do no such thing as "call up" people. It is, has been, and seems likely to continue to be, Jimbo's Committee - after all, it is merely a delegation of his powers given committee form.
Yours sincerely, if rather perplexedly,
