Re: [atlarge-discuss] icannatlarge.com
Hello Joanna:
On this issue I agree with Norbert and Joop and several others. This organization made some nominations for the choices of our name. Then, it was up to us to decide which one we wanted. It took us a long time just to get to this point. Although I do believe in someone having to assume responsibility and authority for the day to day operations of a group I think that your decision to drop the name icannatlarge from the ballot is not within the scope of your jurisdiction. If you fear for yourself and your family by all means resign. I do not think we will remonstrate you for that move. But, we initiated some choices and now we want to vote. If it proves to be a legally inappropriate move then we will deal with the situation as it develops. Who knows, we might be able to get a lot of air time. David versus Goliath.
Regards,
Micheal Sherrill

Quite so. We are still there as icannatlarge.com
BTW, isn't Kent Crispin webmaster and host of that website? By changing or
not changing the link and name , that webmaster has the power to select
which worldwide organization Denise's ALOC will "recognize".

I share Norbert's concern.
I already felt uncomfortable that the members had their choices made *for*
them when the Panel eliminated icannatlarge.com from the choice.
