Re: [atlarge-discuss] To RALO or not to RALO (was: Some Simple Facts...)



The question is: do we want the At Large to be structured and developed the

should not have any say at all in how Internet Users organisae themselves.
They should not be making up ANY of the rules, structures or constraints.
