RE: [ga] 8. Registrants representation

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roberto and all,

  With all due respect I disagree that there is now, or ever
was strong or even weak support for seperating stakeholders
into pigion holed Constituency groups as you suggest.  As a
member of several of the working groups you mention and/or
eluded to, the majority of the remarks and comments of same
do not reflect your statement below.  Sorry if such offends
you in any way...
