Working group participants could be prone to
amnesia. The hand raising might be viewed as a
commitment to perform the reviews. It was
clearly stated that photos would be taken, why
they were taken and what would be done with them. Nobody objected.

P.S. I read the following some time back:
- Insist on doing everything through "channels". Never permit short-cuts
to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
- When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and
consideration". Attempt to make the committees as large as possible
never less than five.
- Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
- Haggle over precise wordings.
- Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to
reopen the question of the advisability of that decision.
- Advocate "caution". Be "reasonable" and urge your fellow participants
to be "reasonable" and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments
or difficulties later on.
- Be worried about the propriety of any decision raise the question of
whether such action as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of
the group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher
echelon.
- Never pass on your skill and experience to a new or less skillful worker.
