I am going to take the risk of jumping in here because I know Jen is out today.
Jen's announcement was from May 2014, which was only a few weeks after we started discussing ideas for the platform. The vision for the platform evolved a lot over the year while we were developing it (and continues to evolve every day.) But since day one we have always had a vision of the site as being a big tent that can help support and amplify all advocacy efforts for ME patients.
#MEAction has never advocated for the IOM criteria. I don't think it has any place in research. I share Jen's view stated earlier in the thread that all research should be doing using at least the CCC or ICC, and have consistently stated that position online and in private conversations.
