Hmmm... what power do you think committee membership gives you?

Membership of the Committee gives
 - the ability to read and argue in the Committee's discussions
 - the ability to give advice to proponents from a position of
    authority
 - ultimately, a vote in contentious issues which are within the remit
   of the committee as defined by the guidelines.
