In that respect, I'd like to solicit members of the community to take part in this project. If you are interested, please send me a brief email summarizing what your involvement in BLPs in the past has been and your own opinion as to why BLPs are such a problematic area.

So I have strong doubts that anyone who like I, has spoken out forcibly for the inclusion of any verifiable information, would even be selected for a committee like this one.
This is a problem. From Cary's email it sounds like this task force will only be composed of people with similar views on BLP, in fact that will be the main selection criteria. Regardless of the merits of these views, such a task force will be prone to groupthink.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand how you come up with this conclusion. I'm asking the questions precisely because I believe we should have different perspectives.
