[atlarge-discuss] Re: Hey! atlarge.org and icannatlarge.org!

["Richard Henderson" <richardhenderson@ntlworld.com>]

Thank you Marc

We owe you a debt for keeping this name safe, and it is very good of you to
offer it to the organisation. I'm cc'ing this mail to the membership and
panel lists so that an early decision can be taken on how to proceed from
here, and you should hear from Hans Klein the panel chair once the
organisation's needs become clearer.

Once again, real thanks, and I hope you are soon home safely from your
travels!

Kind regards

Richard H
