[CQ-Contest] Anonymity of CQWW Contest Committee Actions

[Pete Smith]

For as long as I can remember, the CQWW Contest Committee has sought to 
avoid assigning responsibility for any action to a single individual - 
except when K3EST speaks for it, and then not in specific cases.  I 
suspect this is out of concern that negative decisions could trigger 
reprisals from those affected, ranging from Internet harassment to 
(perhaps) lawsuits - remember Don Miller.  I agree that the result is a 
somewhat spooky impression of a disembodied voice from on high, but 
don't have a ready answer on how to do it better.
