   Similar criticism came from Carolyn Lane, manager of crop production and director of seed operations for the Minnesota based Northland Organics, "I would have liked to have heard more from the panelists".Carolyn was particularly dismayed that questions were passed over regarding contamination of foundation and breeding stock seed and the damage of organic intellectual property by GE intellectual property.
   
   The sense of being ignored was heightened by the choice of panelists.While representatives from, not one, but two GE breeding/seed companies were on the panel, there was a bizarre absence of a chair for the organic seed trade - and yet organic seed production was the focus of the conference.What do the organic seed companies whose germplasm is at risk from contamination think of coexistence?The organizers simply did not prioritize this importance in their selection of panelists, and although they had explanations for the complicated process of selection, the omission is difficult to fathom.Carolyn Lane offered examples of Maury Johnson (NC+ Organics, organic corn seed) and David Vetter (organic corn farmer) as two organic seed producers who have already been affected by the challenges of coexistence, and who would have added to the integrity of the panel.
