Re: [ga] ALAC comments on proposed Bylaws modifications

Thomas and all former DNSO GA members or other interested parties,

  Thomas, I am not clear or sure as to what you or the language
you provided below, the term "Feasible" is in this context.
Can you define "Feasible" in the context of the RALO suggestion?
Will the term "Feasible" be defined in the context of the RALO
suggestion's language?  If not, than any interpretation of what IS
Feasible is a matter of Subjective determination, and therefore
can change from time to time in fairly rapid sequence to fit
any persons determination of what is Feasible.
