Do you actually realize that RCom is not a single person, and that there
is no way we can issue an official statement in 24 hours? I am not sure we
need to issue anything as a body anyway, but if we need it is absolutely
unrealistic to do in 24 hours, since most of us have not been involved
since June (when we last approved the survey). We do not have any magic
means of communication that would get every RCom member online immediately
and produce a statement and answer all the questions.
