Re: [ga] remote participation

I would be perfectly happy to limit the experiment to interactions with
the Board.  

I quite agree that that filering live comment via remote procedures like
those currently in use by ICANN threatens to limit the value of live
participation -- the idea is to encourage an increase of the quality by
aligning the interests of the rich and well-resourced with the rest of us.

[P.S. I should perhaps note that I long ago killfiled Dave Cr*cker so that
I never see messages from him, and only see message to, or cc him when
they are by someone, like Harald, in my "read everything" file.  Life is
short.]
