That's the same thing that was done in the US with Internet voting
by the NSF, where Internet voting companies were barred from
participate -- because they are vendors. So, the scientists that were
leading the field and had actual experience had no voice, while those
who could only speculate and were coincident with the desired result
were left  to call the shots. Guilty as charged.

Google David Cheney and that NSF-supported fly-by-night operation
that was called the Internet Policy Institute.
