Re: [ga] charging for renewals after expiry

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Gentle persons,

We have some on this list who scream and shout that due to lack of procedure
our concensus/conclusions are not valid.  But here we have example of the only
procedure that is truly important.  Understanding each other.
This is a General Assembly and we come from many walks and disciplines in life.

My best friend and working companion, an Internet Architect have long laughed
that we begin responses to each other with "no". (we have changed this to the
Vietnamese "Ngo" which is totally meaningless in our discussions.)

Here we have watched two in total agreement seemingly come to discord.  How do
we pilot such interests into one voice that makes a difference?

This is the needed procedure of the GA.  I am afraid we once again flounder as
a GA because we have chosen our leaders for their assigned interests and not
for their ability to bring us together.  My father says TTT - things take
time.  My
13 year old reminds me she learned of computers and the Internet in school in
4th
grade and that what she learned then is useless.

Our Internet changes hourly but the rules of social engagement are ancient and
only
require adherence to the rule of truly listening and a desire to place our
thoughts
in the same path.

The subject discussed upon this thread is a sick display that only an illegal
monopoly
could possibly allow.  How do we fix it?

Sincerely,
Eric
