Hey there Adam and all - > From: Adam Peake <[log in to unmask]> >I just thought you might have shown you'd taken things a little more >seriously. It's an IM session, I'm not talking about emoticons and >stuff, but some serious discussion, and there's not a lot of that. I take full responsibility for the emoticon madness and any silliness in the chat. I would like to point out in our defense, however, that we were waiting to see if other members would join and were stalling a bit throughout with the hope that they would. The three of us really wanted to hear from the others regarding their thoughts on the names - they weren't able to join and we've had to hear from them over e-mail. I think we did have the necessary conversations about the process and the names; some of the pieces you see as missing were covered by the descriptions when the names were submitted to the NCUC discuss list. Anyway, hope this clears things up a bit. We weren't trying to make light of the process - we were taking the decisions seriously, only trying not to get frustrated with the hour + that we sat there waiting hopefully and getting kicked off MSN. :) >Anyway, the people on the list are good. I have reservations about >Karl (stated) but most people disagree with me. Fine, he should stay >on the list. I'm glad you're happy with the rest of the names. :) Best, F -- ~~~ Frannie Wellings Policy Fellow, the Electronic Privacy Information Center ~ http://www.epic.org Director, The Public Voice ~ http://www.thepublicvoice.org 1718 Connecticut Ave. N.W., Suite 200 Washington, D.C. 20009 USA [log in to unmask] +1 202 483 1140 x 107 (telephone) +1 202 483 1248 (fax) ~~~
