Thats really not true. First of all, the POC is under dramatic
external political pressure. Second of all, the POC's members are all
selected by other bodies which thus hold the power to indirectly
influence the POC's decisions.
If you examine the history of the situation, the POC and its
predecessor the IAHC have almost always done what the mass of the
public wanted done. They are, if anything, overresponsive.
