RE: [atlarge-discuss] Membership Committee

["Abel Wisman" <abel@able-towers.com>]

I agree with this as I posted earlier as far as itr concerns the chair.
I do not agree to the chair forming a team, all thse who want to
contribute should be allowed to do so. Decisions should be taken by
majority votes.
