[ga] Re: At-Large Supporting Organization

[DannyYounger@cs.com]

Hello Vint,

Thank you for the prompt response.  I am sure that you understand that an 
Advisory Committee, while providing opportunities for participation, is not 
the equivalent of a Supporting Organization in that it cannot elect 
representatives to the Board.  Is there a particular reason why the Board is 
not amenable to such representation for the At-large community?  The ALSC 
proposal for such an SO did have a broad base of community support -- the 
only issue appeared to be the number of directors that it would elect... 

I can understand your decision to back away from global elections, but I find 
it harder to understand why you would shy away from a representative 
construct (the Supporting Organization) that has already served the 
Corporation well.  Perhaps you and your fellow Board members can clarify your 
thinking on this matter.  It certainly would be appreciated. 

Best regards,
Danny
