Re: [atlarge-discuss] Consultation on Polling Commission?

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Richard and all fellow members,

  I agree with you strongly here.  In that the Jefsey-election itself
is illegitimate and no mandate voted/approved any such a motion
should or must be subject to membership vote before approved
and or sanctioned.  If not done in this way, than we again have
a Jefsey-election group that has run amuck/gone rouge.
