Re: [ga] Re: . ORG Straw Poll

["Kevin J. Connolly" <connollyk@rspab.com>]

In light of:

"Given the fact that the individual has otherwise behaved in a fashion nots
 ignificantly disruptive to the list since his last suspension, which endedo
 n Nov 27, the monitor sees no compelling reason to impose the normal 
doubling of length of suspension for repeat offenders that has been used 
earlier.

"A suspension of 8 weeks, ending on May 24, 2001, is therefore imposed.

Roberto and all remaining assembly members,

  Ok Roberto, if a straw poll is not what you would like to see to
in some way measure where GA members stand on certain issues
what is?  I would also suggest that possibly it would be good to
have a GA vote using the current procedures on specific issues
with respect to the Verisign Option B contract.  Would that
suffice?  And if not, why not?  And if so, lets get on with it...
