Carlton,
            I may not sign on to all of their interests. But if some advance the ones I advocate then I will embrace them.
100% agree, and this is the balance I’m asking for

Jonathan

It is not about majority and minority. It’s the end users interest that At-Large should defend, and you asked me how. I answered your question in earlier mail, but I will make here more clear: We must protect the users from the cybercriminals and allow third party with legitimate purpose to access the non public data. This is for the interest of all end-users.

None is intolerant; everybody is defending their own interests, and our interest as At-Large members is the public interest only (no commercial nor political interest).
