Re: [atlarge-discuss] WG-OUTREACH 003 - Update and Action List

["Micheal Sherrill" <micheal@beethoven.com>]

Yes. Yes. Yes.  Let's get ORGANIZED first.  
We have to start with the foundation if we
 are to build anything.  We can worry about
 satellite groups later when we have something
 that will support them.

     I agree that the panel has not done a lot to make things work. 
Realistically, the election was right before August, a terrible time to get 
things done, and the panel members themselves don't really have much of a 
working relatship with each other so far, and it is possible things will 
move along a bit, although given some of the missives posted to the list, 
who knows.

     But there is also going to be some difficultly in finding common ground 
on substantive issues.  People act as this will be trivial, but it won't be. 
  It may be the case that some issues regarding process or transparency will 
be easly for us, but other issues are likely to be more difficult.

      My own preferences is to focus on solving the munane organizational 
stuff first,...... control over web page, bylaws, incorporation, opening 
bank account, sovling verification of membership issue for voting.  THese 
are all practical problems, and if we really wanted to, these could all be 
"solved" with two months.
