Joe,
I think that you are way out of line with your comments to Paul, and you didn't respond to his questions.
Do you have a proposal number and year for the proposal that you are talking about? I'd like to read the proposal and comments myself. Its not fair for you to quote what you think that you remember about a proposal, but not give us enough details so that we can look it up ourselves. The only proposal on this subject that I have found in the 95 ROP is 6-32 which would have required the GEC to be green. Panel 6 accepted this at both the proposal and comment stage, only to have the TCC report it as rejected because the color of the GEC is not within the scope of Panel 6.
