Re: [ALSC-Forum] Options A,B,C

[Alan Levin]

I must concur with Esther as I was really surprised to see the "president
AND chairman" of the DNSGA to be publically discouraging constructive
participation in this process. I found the Options A, B, C page very useful
and they do assist me to 'clarify' thinking. They are clearly developed with
an in depth knowledge of all the stakeholders and the history, and this
knowledge is not always shared and forthcoming.

Although I have been considering the overlap in the DNSGA and the At Large,
the post from the Mr Conant indicates to me, a broad gap in the 'cultures'
of these two groups which I had not previously considered.
