Thank god for the Egwene thing. IT really seemed absurd to me that she had a knee jerk reaction where she decided to object to his plan, which is what so many people implied.
That she wants to persuade him makes more sense, and fits much better with her character as of tGS.
But how the hell did Rand take the incredible risk of informing the Hall? Didn't he worry about Darkfriends?
Also... no Cadsuane Egwene interaction? That would be disappointing. 

Rand appears able to tell Darkfriends on sight now. Also, when he comes before the hall, they have a full circle of 13 shielding him, but Egwene and the other Aes Sedai realize that they're no longer a match for him and if he wants to break the shield, there's nothing they can do to stop him.
Remember back in Book 4, when Egwene described her and Elayne as kittens compared to a lion when comparing their power to Rand? That's how Rand's power is to pretty much everyone else at this point. He walks freely into the tower, because he knows there's nothing that the Aes Sedai can do to him.
Aye, they have to be shown time and time again that they are nothing compared to the Dragon Reborn. They have enough time to form a circle of 13 and try to shield him, wow! One wool headed sheapheader...oh wait he isn't just any shephard *rolls eyes at Egwene* The question seems to remain for some reason though, how much evidence will it take to convince Aes Sedai that they suck?
Also just lovely to hear Nynaeve swears on that criminal binder! She might be awesome in a lot of things but her cowardice here is very off putting. (She's very explicitly stated somewhere in book 8 maybe? that she vehemently opposes swearing on a rod that will cut her lifespan in half!...Elayne does too) So seeing them cave in to Egwene's demands is sickening. I hope Tuon smashes the Tower into dust.
But remember, it won't actually cut their life span in half, because of Egwene's plan to have Aes Sedai be released from the oaths and join the Kin when they decide to retire from being Aes Sedai.

Sounds great - this gives me hope that the book won't be a Perrin/Mat/ZombieMoiraine-fest

You said "call her Rand Sedai". LOL! It seems Sedai=female is stuck in all our minds.

Rand Sedai adjusts her yellow and red slashed skirts carefully, keeping a smooth, unaffected face
