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

["William X. Walsh" <william@userfriendly.com>]

Hello Danny,

It is indeed a rare opportunity for me to do this  :)

I whole heartedly support this suggestion.  Going back to the
formation days I've felt that the existence of these two
constituencies were a gross overlap.

At the very least, the business constituency should be redefined to be
a "small business" constituency, who do not tend to be as in line with
the IP interests as a group in comparison.
