Dear Jefsey,

thanks for getting us started.

Agree, but there also has to be some structure there
(simply put: what do we want the @large people to do?
Subscribe to a mailing list? Organize regional fora?)

Do you mean by worldwide basis that there shall be no
electoral regions?

Agree.

Then we have to think up a way how these groups interact;
what shall be the relation e.g. between the European and 
the UK or Scottish group? Shall they make decisions or
shall they send input to the Board?

I agree that something like that seems to be necessary.
Maybe there is something to learn from the DNSO plans
for an Intake Committee?

So, if I get it right, anyone can join at any time?
And, as I don't get billed directly by NSI, how do they 
send out their bills? How does it check against signing
up several times?

Yes, I think it is a very good idea to separate the setup 
from the issues!
