No recommendation was a result of logic that stems from false premises.  Your
comments were on the mark,
thank you.

Sent to oblivion by obviscation.  Self criticism is seldom helpful.  Why would
existing power bases vote to dilute their power.  Again your comments were
reflective of what I percieve as the GA belief, as it were.

Since the NC is reflective of what they want to see as the core of the groups
that should be represented, then their vote and theirs alone should represent
consensus?  The TF logic on this is incredible.
(this point brings us to your last and most important)

Much to the chagrin of many I agree with your outlook here.  I have seen what
the alternative does and it only does harm.  I only add that the GA within
itself must become more tolerant and moderate, Roberto has shown that this
approach in fact yields our best credentials.

Sincerely,
Eric
