  You apology is excepted.  However speaking for myself and our
members it is too little to late.  :(

  Comment?  Humm?  Your "Report" was by in large accurate, but you
should have requested from the GA members approval of the language
and the report as a whole as to it's accurate reflection on the consensus
of the GA, BEFOR sending it to the NC.  You know this should have
been done, yet you didn't do it.  That is NOT excusable, and is reprehensible.

  This is possibly true or the correct thing to do, however it is kind of
like shutting the barn door after the horse is out.  Not very effective.
Your action of sending your "Report" to the NC prematurely undermined
the consensus of the GA.  As such, individuals in the GA now have
an up hill battle potentially (Depending on their position) and this is
in a large part due to YOUR actions, Roberto.

   I sense Joanna's frustration, but admire her tenacity and sense
of fair play.

Yes, but now it is not likely, thanks to your poor action...
