	What makes you think that a sub-committee is neccessary here ? we
cannot enforce a naming scheme on people. Since I identified the problem,
audited all the GNOME IDL I could find, brought it to peoples attention
and started co-ordinating the remedy; what makes you believe that it is
neccessary to replace my ( what can really only be strongly worded advise
to module authors [1] ) with a 'subcomittee'.

	What did I do wrong ? / why do we need 3 people to do such an
uncontroversial job / why do you not trust me to continue to do it ?

	Not that I care really either way, clearly the foundation should
own the space; but it just seems that you don't trust me to do a simple
job, and prefer a beaurocratic solution instead - disturbing.

	Regards,

		Michael.
