RE: [atlarge-discuss] Verification Committee Methodologies

["Abel Wisman" <abel@able-towers.com>]

I would agree with your conclusion if the cerification committee had
been an appointed or established committee with "rights" to do such a
search.

However, the committee was impromptu organized by the members themselves
and relied on moral persuasion as Joey reports correctly: 
<quote>
The only authority the ad hoc committee on verification and
certification 
had was that of moral persuasion. As was their right, some candidates
were 
persuaded, responsive and forthcoming, and some apparently were not.
Those 
that were not responsive were never in touch with the V&CC.
</quote>

In that light they had not right whatsoever to do a search for
credentials of any candidate and since you did not forward the
information at that moment in time you missed an opportunity then and
there.

Kind regards

Abel
