[ncdnhc-discuss] Membership Status of Silicon Valley Public Access Link

[Jefsey Morfin]

Dear Dave,
considering this position of yours - I find by the way reasonable and well 
articulated - I hope that you will join Kent Crispin - who is also the 
delegate of Songbird at the BC while I am the one of Utel - to support the 
Membership without limitation of the Frax non-profit catholic association?



Since you call for a doctrine, I think the current example of the BC might 
help. At the elections there Grant Forsyth and Marilyn Cade are elected. 
Bruce James objects that they are in the same trade and that Grant having 
been elected first, Marilyn must step aside. Marilyn argument is that the 
part of AT&T she works for is dealing with Internet and e-commerce, so she 
is not a Telco. And Grant says the his company CLEAR does offer Internet 
and e-commerce but that it is basically a Telco.

Bruce's position is that the Members are CLEAR and ATT. And that Marilyn 
and Grant belongs to two companies being first a Telco and additional an 
Internet service.

So if the BC says that Marilyn Cade is elected, it means that the people 
counts, not the structures. Then Dave you must go, Kent must be replaced as 
representing is yacht club and I cannot represent the Frax I chair. If 
Bruce is right, the Frax is a Member of the NCDNHC, you stay and Ken stay 
the Member being his yacht club.

IMHO  Bruce is right..
