I did not say I was discounting the code 451 effort, although you and I may disagree regarding what the nature of its consequences are.

Actually, that could be useful as input into future HRPC efforts.

What do members of this group make out of the fact that only one RFC since publication of 8280 has addressed human rights considerations, and that was the right to bear arms?  Is it expected that publication of the guidelines document currently in progress will make a difference?  Any advice regarding where I can turn for explanations of this?
