Re: WWDDM official registration

[Bruce Eggum <bruce.eggum(at)gmail.com>]

 amend this posting, it was different than what I thought. George
Kokkas has supplied a document he applied for in Greece  Sept 6 1999.
This was with the name WorldWide Direct Democracy Movement where
WorldWide is one word, which creates WDDM.

This was for registration as an Organization, not the name for the
Website which Pino bought. Obviously the Web site name which Pino
bought for WDDM was WDDM as WorldWide Direct Democracy Movement. This
information is recorded in the Yahoo email archives.

In another message 04 20 05, 'Antonio Rossin states
 Antonio Rossin
to wddm

Hi WDDM members,

Please notice, the WDDM registration that George Kokkas made in
the queue of 2nd CICDD at Athens, 2000, is the Official International
Registration of a corporate organization devoted to implement DD.
George Sagi paid 100 US# for that.

The registration  Bruce is speaking of is the Internet registration of
a domain name, that Pino Strano made later wanting to secure the
Internet name property. Btw, Pino secured it for his own ownership,
not for WDDM's: indeed it remains his personal property still.

Bruce Remarks; NO Antonio, Pino bought the WDDM name for WDDM and it
is in the WDDM  Yahoo archives as such. He was authorized as secretary
and webmaster and by vote of members to do this. What ever would any
individual want to buy the name WDDM for?  This was all official WDDM
business. Antonio's above statement  is why we were working to have
explicit policy and procedures as well as a treasurer for WDDM. There
was no way to "charge"  the name to WDDM as it had no accounts.
Unfortunately, Antonio said to vote for the procedures was fascist
which confused the members and many simply refused to participate.
Regards, Bruce
