Reminders:

1) The rules are at http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2000.GA-ga-rules.html
2) The rules were adopted by list vote, gathering a majority of 46 out of
    55 votes, November 6-17, 2000. This was the first vote to be taken after
    a voting rule had been voted in by the GA members.
3) The rules do not mandate a single list monitor, or that this list monitor
    should be the alternate chair. There have been no volunteers to help
    with the job; I think we need at least one more person.
4) I will argue strenously that the list monitor needs the right to act
    rapidly - that means the ability to act on his own. There is an appeals
    procedure in place (appeal to GA chair).
    (This also means that the GA chair SHOULD NOT be a list monitor....)
5) I regard the idea that my employer is relevant to my integrity as
    a personal insult.
    Remember - we ALL work for someone. If one allows silencing on that
    basis, we are on a very slippery slope indeed.
6) On the "others have been worse than Jeff" argument:
    Surprisingly, no complaint has been lodged with the list monitor over
    any behaviour except that of Jeff Williams. The list monitor has chosen
    not to generate any complaint either.
    This does NOT mean that angry participants don't need to tone down!
