[CCWG-ACCT] Membership thoughts

[Greg Shatan]

Carlos,

That is my understanding as well.  Also, according to the post that started
this latest unfortunate diversion, at least one "dead boy" -- to quote
verbatim:

"Just to state this early, over my dead boy will the Regional Organizations
of the ccNSO have anything to do or say in this."

Now, let's get back to work.  Perhaps if the good Doctor had answered my
request for his reasoning the first time, Seun wouldn't have made his
(entirely reasonable) observation that his response didn't provide any
reasoning, causing the good Doctor to accuse him of being a troll and
attempting to send hm back to Africa (or at least AFRICANN).

Perhaps (and this is sheer speculation, of course), the good Doctor's
approach to Seun might be due to the fact that Seun is affiliated with
AfriNIC?

In any event, I apologize for any part I've played in dragging this into
the ditch.

We can only advance if we treat each other with respect, understanding that
everyone here has something to contribute and that nobody's perfect.
