Hello Sotiris:

Would three weeks of input, from this point, be enough for a vote?  We need to put a stake in the ground.

Regards,

Your charge of irrationality is misplaced.  I f anyone is being 
irrational here, it's clearly you Mr. Younger.  How can you expect an 
organization that voted for its FIRST Steering Panel just one week ago, 
to have already prepared the documentation you mention?  To expect such 
a thing is not only unreasonable, it is totally unrealistic, as Vittorio 
already pointed out to you. Continue bashing what you have not helped in 
building if you must, but your provocation has not gone unremarked.  I 
reiterate my invitation for you to join our effort and help us with 
constructive, meaningful input.

Sincerely,

Sotiris Sotiropoulos
