I certainly understand the significance for OSS passionadas in organisations under MBA and committee rule, it's just infuriating that these things have to be spelled out in childish ways (which the litmus test really is all about) by conservatives for "approved benefits to the enterprise." This is partly why I left the library world, mind you, so if that report can fix up some of the glaring things that made my experience there so painful (a constant struggle of spelling things out), I might think of coming back. :) Hehehe.
