Re: [ga] CONCERNS - Questions to the chair candidate's


Jeff, Kristee, Alexander, and Thomas;

I respond by putting this as a question to the other candidates.
You see I have failed to receive the appropriate endorsements and so
I will be bowing out in less than 24 hours.
See;  http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2002.DNSO-GAchair.html

I will continue to work here because I believe this is the first real
global democracy project that bares fruit.

Our lives are always made richer by trying.

Sincerely,
Eric

Absolutely correct but a strong chair leadership role could put this in place.
Although I am not so sure that the chair should not establish them and then
work through a constant rules committee to keep them up to date and
to reflect the position of consensus.

Posting limits are really not censorship.  They are quantitative rather than
qualitative.  As we in the US have learned lately, we can adapt our
rights in order to maintain a higher freedom.

And is regardless of who is chair.

Well you have a good point.  Let us then say "concentrate less
on outside influence until we have our own house in order.

We agree here and that is why I do not want Thomas elected.

That is what the WG will be for.  All good questions.

Easier said than done but I note the ASO today discussed just such a matter.

It is all part of funding and outreach, it can be done. Just for kicks;
Think of a US Federal Court Clerk union going on line, like the are
but joining our ranks.
