This another good reason to create an independent group,
but on the other hand why you think that further members of YPC ICOM (if
after all proceeding will be create) don't prefer to can vote in that
committee and not in other committee where the activity is zero or near to
be null? One of the reason to create a YPC (or any name can it have) is the
low level of activities and interaction and usefulness of many committee
where members are not happy.
You say:
>" would want to cut themselves off from perhaps more senior professional
>colleagues in their own specialisation in this way"

This is right and this is one of the main goals of a committees. But it is
still true? How many committee are real active in this sense?
I'm a voting (voting? What?) of MPR from 6 months before Seoul conference.
Until today I receive only 3 email from MPR and all are only to announce the
annual meeting in Finland, no news, no professional information. I'm also
member of other committee...but I don't remember witch they are because I
never receive any communication from them!
My original proposal was oriented to create an ICOM committee because I
trust in the ICOM mission and I'm  very deluse (as many other colleagues)
about lack created from other persons.
