Further, _wir isn_ (wir sind, we are), and _nun sei ich ruhig_ (sei for bin) (now I am quiet), and _ich habe nicht ruhig geseit_ (_habe_ for "bin" and _geseit_ for "gewesen") (I have not been quiet), are worthy of note, because they show how strong an influence in the formation of words during the transition period is exerted by the forms most frequently heard -- here the imperative.

International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use

sionnach commented on the word ich
Ah, the hideous memories come flooding back. The dreaded ICH E10 draft document ("Choice of Control Group in Clinical Trials"), where it was abundantly clear from the get-go that "harmonisation" was never going to be possible because of the FDA's obsessive love for placebo-controlled trials even in situations where such trials were clearly highly ethically dubious. As this latter position was espoused by regulatory agencies in Europe and Canada, the gulf between their position and that of FDA was fundamentally unbridgeable. Which left those of us in the pharmaceutical industry charged with reviewing draft after interminable draft of this freaking document in a Kafkaesque no-man's land.
