Hi Rudy,
I certainly agree that the response leaves a lot to be desired, however, Tom,
is only following the prescribed procedures for balloting an IPC document.
At the balloting stages, a negative has to be accompanied with a specific
suggestion for change as well as the reason(s) for this change.
Your input on the document needed to be put before the committee long before
this stage.
However, all is not lost, this is ONLY the "Initial Ballot."
Make some of your objections specific--theoretically, you could totally
rewrite the document, section-by-section, and give a reason for each change.
However, I would strongly suggest you attend this committee's meeting at
IPCWorks and let your objections be known--you may be surprised and find support
among the committee members [the IPC staff are only the gate keepers]. Have the
committee chair put you on the agenda, otherwise you may not get to be heard
because of the Initial Ballotting responses have to be resolved.

Werner
