The process consist of the IOM, the panel they select, a process they created, and a review committee. I'd like to know where the buck stops. Who is responsible?

Has the special link to the IOM forum been removed inadvertently again?It was removed inadvertently...should be back now.
Nope, deliberately this time - we're promoting our new PR store for the next week or so, because the holiday season and the affiliate schemes are a very significant source of income for PR and we've just put a lot of work into expanding the PR store. We'll restore the IOM notices in about a week.Has the special link to the IOM forum been removed inadvertently again?

Maybe that last line was if it was removed (its really not needed as the other two lines about the store are good.. last line is so cliche (not sure if i have wrong right), the OMI forum could be still promoted underneath in a single line with a link where that is..
- The new Phoenix Rising Store is now open!

JR: Just saying it seems odd, like odd as in all the governmental masks of ignorance that have been displayed for 2 decades post Incline Village. To my knowledge the CDC, et al, has never recognized (openly, that is) the WHO's ICD classification of ME or even ME until almost a couple decades past the Holmes' criteria. Was ME even classified in the U.S.? Either I haven't bothered to check or I don't remember. Information dribbles out of my brain faster than a dachshund slimes. You bet the U.S. respects the WHO even though they don't have to. The USA was all over it a couple years past when an outbreak of one of the 77+ enteroviruses killed 27 children in a or some eastern country[ies] not to mention the ongoing war against Polio, another 3 enteroviruses. But all of this about ICD's is just another paragraph in the loss of our lives.@Izola, countries are allowed to put out their own versions of ICD, if those versions are approved by ICD. Only a small handful of countries have their own ICDs- US, Germany and Canada I think and that might be it. I believe in the current ICD-9 CM (what the US one is called), ME or 'benign ME' appears only in the index and it says "see CFS". The ICD-10 CM and ICD 11and DSM 5 fights have been going on for quite a while, spearheaded by Suzy Chapman who blogs on it. This stuff is important and something to get back to when the redefinition fight is less urgent.
