Agreed on these points:
1. make public the amendments and the names of those consulted.
2. rewriting PCDP without constituent consultation has zero acceptability.
3. sudden raft of amendments is a shock and surprise.
4. this is an election year and everybody better be registered and turn out/mail-in the absentee ballots: VOTE, because it does make a difference
On one point I disagree:
In the business of amendments, once those 'words have been crafted', as we say in the trade, text and content of the amendments remain important. Couriers are dispensable to those who would use them to deliver dirty tricks. As soon as one courier is taken out, another is put in it's place with the same message, i.e, content of the amendments.
