Can someone clarify what is meant by adopting a "MCCI model" and why the
restrictive membership is not favourable? I read the minutes of meeting and
these are some of the things I didn't understand.

This is surprising; not at least one of the mentioned organisations have
the technical expertise to deal on this matter.
Since they lack the technical expertise wouldn't it have been better to
call for public comments on the technical document first so as to have a
more thorough discussion? Then assess whether or not to acquire foreign
expertise?
