Wasn't that what I asked in both lists yesterday? I keep having to 
wonder whether all listmembers get all messages, or whether they read 
'selectively' because otherwise there would be too much to read. The 
latter practice, as demonstrated here, leads to questions and 
discussions being repeated within the 'choir', while those outside are 
still not being consulted. Therefore I repeat:

What is being done to draw the zoological community at large into the 
process of considering, discussing and decision-making?
