There was a technical committee set up by the international standards organization, which has approximately 120 countries that belong to it. The technical committee set up had seven countries involved in it. One of the things the animal rights activists are doing now is questioning whether or not these member countries are unbiased enough to present credible work. So the credibility of the member countries has been under attack by the animal rights activists. As I said, the technical committee presented its work. There is no agreement on how to proceed except to give member countries some time to decide whether or not to accept the work of the technical committee to date. The technical committee may or may not have finished their work or may be at an impasse at this time. But the International Standards Organization continues to exist.
