  Looks like thus far it is doing pretty well as it is...

  The GA is full of diverse and converse interests.  That is nothing new
at all.  In fact it is one of the few great strengths that the GA has.  This
should be true of the IDNO as well.  However the IDNO seems to
be full of rancor still...  Perhaps that will change...

  Hummm?  Not sure where you are coming from here really.  It is
much different than anything I have seen Roberto offer.  In fact the
BC issue with Constituency membership of this nature has only occured
a few other times.  And in Melbourne New.Net did not exist...
