RE: [atlarge-discuss] Stop Further "Work..."

1. I speak for myself, not for the panel as a whole, that would be
impossible on this short notice even if I wanted to.

Well in my opinion if you think we should do "something" describing what
"You" think to be that something would be a good starting point,
noticing what Jeffsey wrote is something we all did and share our
concerns on.

The panel can undoubtedly go one record with an enormous wish-list,
probably even far more pertinent then just Jeffsey stopping whatever
he's doing, however the panel is already on record saying that he should
under no circumstances use the membership-list for anything at all.
Motions to expel have been floating around, but he is no longer a member
as he disasociated himself from membership. Cutting anybody of this open
maillist is also not that smart, since it would kill the "open" idea and
more posters should then fear a same destiny I would think.

If a member (unimportant who) decides to flush out disrupter-bots and
what's more without using means that are not available to any member,
when that member proves his case, then I will be that last one to stop
that member. If he does not prove his case or presents his case then
there is nothing to be talked about, the mere threat is not enough to
justify action of any kind, if we listened to threats and were impressed
or believed them all real, I would most likley have been visited by
every agency the USA ever conjurred up on JW's statements alone and not
only me, many more on this list!

The panel has not discussed this matter as yet, as you undoubtedly will
understand seeing our busy schedule and time-zone constraints, but no
doubt we will and then come with a statement.

Which organization? We are trying to establish becoming one, which would
give us "powers" to do something in cases like this, hence I have other
priorities then reacting to every promise and threat made on the
maillist.

Had prior panels dealt with the "good stuff" there would have been
by-laws, clear election rules and an incorporated organization that had
the legal status to address these matters. However prior panels were to
busy dealing with more then just that and see where it got them, we are
still in the same stage as we were 2 years ago.

The focussing on important points as polling-committee, by-laws,
verification committee and such is hard enough as it is, made even
harder by the noise about everything and anything, but should be the
main prioroty of the panel according to my opinion.

If you consider these things "the good stuff" then I submit you address
those as well, I failed to see any reaction to my post a few days ago
about these things (see
http://www.fitug.de/atlarge-discuss/0306/msg01519.html ).

With kind regards
