RE: [ga] More BC Shenanigans

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

Dear Chuck,
The point in the BC rules is not that they participate or not into another 
constituency. It is that they do not belong to a business area outside of 
the BC constituency scope. That ATT is a member or not of the ISP 
constituency has no impact. What is important to know is if a Telco is or 
not an ISP or a Registrar. Marilyn explains that she is on the e-business 
side. And there are documents showing that ATT does not sell Domain Names 
but has a deal with NSI.

There is a BC Membership committee anyway. I do not know if they decided or 
where asked about Marilyn and Grant.
