i would ask if you have looked at the page we have up. originally we
put it together because all members of the committee are part of the
mysapce community (lj v/s mysapce seems to be an east coast/westcoast
division) and we needed an effective way to communicate with one
another when meetings were not feasable that would also act like a
secretary. at this point, the basics of the page are not really a bid
to our understanding but rather a discussion of convergence, a
refference to ag including a link to the google page, and some very
basic info. we have sent many mailings to our current friends list
encouraging them to get involved in ag and the voting process. but if
there is a spesific issue, we will gladly fix it. it is not our
intent to take any undue head starts. we have uploaded our pages to
altgothic as required. please let us know if there is anything that
needs fixing on the page we currently have, and please accept our
appologies if we have offended anyone or misinterpreted a rule.
