Re: [wg-review] [TELECON] Disappointment.

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

I also was dissapointed in missing the teleconference, my problem was with
Southern California power and with our deregulated telecommunication providers not
having adequate interface and lines being full due to the New Year.
But I also think it was a good idea because positive things have occured as a
result of having it.
I want to thank everyone who did participate because from what I see alredy it was
productive.  I think increasing their frequency, taping and replaying and making
them generally more available to the public would be a very positive step towards
a bottom-up approach and increasing participation in this governance.

Sincerely,
