[ncdnhc-discuss] Non Commercial Meeting

[KathrynKL at aol.com]

A very fair posting, David.  Thank you.  

I would still feel much better if you had a free speech/fair use person -- 
perhaps from Europe -- on the Board of the Public Interest Registry.  So many 
of the hopes of the human rights, free speech, open communication and 
personal speech communities go with the .ORG.  As you have mentioned so many 
times, large organizations are a key concern for you.  But we need voices for 
the small organizations and individuals -- because millions live in .ORG
