[ga] Re: [ga-review] Proposal to Merge the Business and Intellectual Property Constituency

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

Dear DPF,
it only shows the BC is not fulfilling its mission. Not that it has no mission.
As an SME and a sall TM owner I don't see my interests represented by
anyt of them two. You may rememebr that Philip Shepard publicly asked
me on this list broadcasting a mail he has sent me privafely. This makes
two responses: I did not have even an ACK.
My position is simple: BC and IP should at least be be populated by 50%
real people; true TM owners and true business owner/CEOs. Not by
lawyers and employees.
