[ga] task force appointments

[Eric Dierker <eric@HI-TEK.COM>]

I have found no indication either in history (except just recently here)
or in any written rules that TF members should be duly elected.

As a dotcommoner I address this whole issue of bottoms up and
democracy.  This is not a right now thing it takes time.  We do our best
and as our best gets better so will representativeness.  The US
revolution and independence was not based upon a popular vote and even
then it took over a hundred years and a half a million lives to get
women and ex-slaves the vote.  First let us work on effectiveness and
then as time and energy permits let us work on purity of system.

Look, I am even contemplating withdrawing my objection to some type of
domain name control to be a criteria for at-large. This will help insure
security and require some knowledge of that which we vote. We can also
raise awareness of Names and addresses and ccTLDs. Perhaps having my
ideal of every user having a vote will take a little more time. But
without compromise and acceptance to some expedience we grow stale and
stalemated.

I praise Danny for moving forward and for Jeff and William, regardless
of differences lending support to Danny's effectiveness.  Perhaps Jeff
should fill Williams declined spot and from that position cause a
committee election to confirm the choice.  Inclusion is finally gaining
ground through our chair.

Sincerely,
Eric
