Re: [atlarge-discuss] Internet for Users

James and all fellow members,

  James, it seems you ask the same question twice. One
addressing Panel members, which we do not have at this
point in time, and one for members, LOL!  What's
up with that anyway?

 In any event, members and future Panel members are one in the
same except that the future Panel members will be the servants
of the membership at large.  Hence any "Metric" would of
course have to be reflective of the desire of the members
irrespective of "Demographics" in said participation
to an Atlagre organization.

BTW, I believe that we have already had this question answered
and quite a bit of discussion in like regard.
