...yes, however, I thought we were organizing the entity that would
represent the atlarge - not just ONE of the organizations...

...And I can.
So, we either want to represent the atlarge, or we want to represent just
the atlarge-who-think-only-one-way.
I had hoped we were not so closed minded - I had hoped we understood the

I had also hoped to "hear" more members' views...
