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.
I'm not disputing this, I'm just saying that this (coordinating responses, sending a coordinated response etc.) will only happen *later*, when all the input of the chapters and their lawyers have been received, Of course, this assumes that the Chapters want to send a common response to the WMF *at some point* , if WmUK wants to opt out of this and send an independent response to the WMF, it may very well do so.
