I was talking about what the MoU says, not what POC says or has done.

Your response actually reinforces what I say. Because the MoU gives POC
so much control, everybody wants to get in there and make sure POC does
what they want.

POC could become so pre-occupied with its own survival that it looses sight
of other parts of the organisation. This I think would be a detriment to
the entire process.
