The OSI is supposed to be -more- open due to its nature as an organization
that purports to pass judgement on openness. That means that secret
meetings, lists and communications are much harder to justify. And coming
out of a troubled period an organization like OSI needs to really show via
that same openness that it is still reputable and viable.

The rest seems off topic and needlessly inciting. We don't need to debate
afghanistan on this list, as I'd imagine we all have strong feelings about
this.
