The Meltzer Commission majority report is a controversial document, with defenders and critics. Recent edits removed this article's discussion of some of the published criticisms that have been made of the Commission's work (and of subsequent defenses of Commission majority positions made by Meltzer himself and his associate Adam Lerrick). They also sought to suppress a reference to an edited work in which both sides of this debate -- Lerrick and one of the critics -- had a full chance to express their views. I suggest that both balance and freedom of expression suffer from edits of this kind. I have endeavored to revert those parts of these edits which tended to suppress substantive critique, while preserving the elements of the earlier edit that provided a more precise account than before of the voting within the commission.

Woops! I thought the edits had provided a more precise account of voting in the commission, but now that I checked the original report I see that the edits got the numbers wrong! I have corrected this. Nandt1 (talk) 23:59, 11 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

The article as previously drafted reported the majority as recommending that "development banks like the World Bank" cease lending to middle income countries. In fact, it was more categorical on this for the World Bank than others, leaving open the possibility that regional development banks might continue some operations in the so-called "MICs".
