This message seems to have bounced the first time, sorry if you get it
twice.

As far as it goes I agree with most of the stated goals and aspirations
of that esteemed group.  What I disagree with is them setting themselvs
up as a self appointed nobility for industrial paleo.  They should not
pretend to represent anyone outside the room when they meet.  I know
that although I have done quite a bit of paleo coordinating I was never
asked for input of any sort till I started questioning the existence of
that group.  Feedback from non supervisory members of other paleo
groups, and this one for that matter indicate to me that those meeting
don't necissarily represent the opinions of those they appear to
represent.  The "Cottage industry" consultants I've talked to aren't
asked for any kind of input either although I'm sure that they will be
called before the court when taxinomic concepts are needed. 
OK paleo Coordinators there is my position.  Just remember nobody
elected you, give suggestions not directives.
