Bernard,
while I share your frustration with the lack of responses to various proposals
in this group, do not despair completely.
Your principles
- submit their opinion without fear of contradiction,
- submit their opinion in it's own right.
will hopefully be incorporated into the charter. Mark Antell, who is preparing
its draft, also liked your principles.
Thanks to Milan Valach for reminding us that we aspire to become the world-wide
DD roof organization of association. His proposal could solve all our problems
for the time being. Let's keep for now as the only goal the spread of
information (resource center). This encompasses Lee's (or Antonio's)
educational efforts. Let then later the representatives of national DD groups
put together a more detailed charter for WDDM. I personally fully agree with
this approach.
Finally, could we somehow soon finalize the question of new members, please???
Are we accepting anybody without any requirements, or will we be enforcing the
presently posted requirement that new members have to show some interest in DD
(or at least democracy improvement). Can we make some decision about this, and
then be finally consistent?
Namely, we have a new member who has not provided any info about his relation
to DD even after I reminded him to do so some three days ago: http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/Wiki/MikhailKozyrev
