I think we should be involved in this process in every way, publicly and privately, and if something can be altered before it's cast in stone then now is the time to do it. This is part of the TA process: leaks, rumors, closed sessions, letters and calls to reps, and finally a TA. I don't think the TA process included the phrase:
Members are to remain silent until we have a TA because the MEC has double top secret knowledge and we're smarter than you.
We also shouldn't be scared rabbits when it comes to leaks... most of them come from the likes of Jerry who just says stuff to get people riled up.
To be fair, part of the fault lies in the hands of DALPA on ultra vague communications. Silence only promotes paranoia, too.
