Re: [wg-review] Nader Calls For World Consumer Protection Organizationin Internet

[Eric Dierker <ERIC@HI-TEK.COM>]

Respectfully I submit that if the clear results of this wg's analysis is
discarded, and there is the resulting lack of faith in how the internet is
managed, Mr. Nader may well obtain the support he needs to move this concept
forward.  It is conceivable that the failure to share power may result in
complete loss of power.

Sincerely,
