>>     3) that the elected Panel member make hemself or herself known to
>>     the membership they are elected to serve by way of an introductory
>>     post to the atLarge-discuss list.
>>      
>>     Our report and addenda are copied below.

>>      
>>     5) It is our recommendation to the Panel that:

>>     will lead to his automatic resignation from the Panel. (With the

>>     Addendum (ii)  Micheal Sherril dissented from the consensus with

>>     "No, we have not established that statement for certain"
