Re: [ga] request for details about ALAC members

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jonathan and all former DNSO GA members or other stakeholder/users,

  I am saddened to read your response here Jonathan given that Kristy
was as the subject line of this thread states only "Requesting Details"
of ALAC supposed members and was rebuffed by Vitorio to which
she took him to task publicly.  Such a request by Kristy is both
legitimate and honest.  Yet Vitorio decided to respond in less
than an honest manner and seemingly denigrated Kristy for the
very asking of her questions in her Request.  Therefor just
spinning instead of being straight forward and above board in
his answers.  Such does not boad well for the ALAC or
it's future...  So the silliness is on Vittorio and the ALAC...
