Re: [ga] Notification of Self Organization

[roddixon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I agree with the comment below and John Levine's article on CircleID
reinforces Jeff Wiiliams' point. Of course, the ALAC's failure may mean
that this effort will fail as well (again). But, there is no doubt that
there is a need for an active and lively GA, and maybe this time we can
surprise the naysayers.
