Re: [ga] Re: news from bucharest: at large exists again

Marc, I think you are missing the point.  It will be easy to get your 
organization included in the at-large.org thing.  It just doesn't mean 
anything.   You can't vote or freely choose your own leaders.  You just 
become a volenteer focus group for the staff, and you get used to allow the 
board to claim they have an at large.
