This is because your observations are absolutely correct. POC does not
make descisions but after a serious round of RFCs, or when deciding of
publishing an RFC, or when talking about really urgent things like the
IF we should have a policy when talking about the round robin method used
in the SRS software or not.
The role of POC is not to make descisions, but to be the committee that
sees that CORE does only do things according to what PAB wants, and
according to the papers written.
So, the descisions are few, and the ones we have had to do has been
tactics before meeting with for example mr Magaziner, and that was done
with the POC members geographically on site, which included Javier, but
not Peter unfortunately. This is still though tactics and nothing more.
Tactics that according to what we in POC thinks, will lead things towards
the goal of the charter of ours.
But, very few things are handled in POC. You can see on the "open" RFCs
what issues I mean -- composition of POC and the 3rd revised ACP paper.

True that there have not been any discussion on the POC list at all about
the green paper. I think all of us have had weekend, read the paper
hundreds of times each one of us -- including the articles that have been
in the press. I and Rob have been working with Leni on the round robin
procedures, and Glenn was at my place in Stockholm tonight where we
discussed the issues.
