Hi Everybody., After some changes, the vote on dropping PAM was nearly unanimous. Dave Lass sent me the following message about his communication with Gomberg. Quote Hi Bob -- Dave Gomberg and I just had a very pleasant telcon in which I informed him that AGA was going to pass on getting involved with PAM at this point in time. He wishes us luck, very sincerely, and I wished him the same. Please let me know if you want me to do anything else. Lass End Quote Regarding the voting issue, I made a motion as follows: I propose we have a policy that responses to votes are expected within one week of the posting requesting the vote ( the day the chair writes the vote request ) >I also expect that if you know you will be unavailable for more than a day or two, you give the group that information, with the day you expect >to be available again. That motion has been seconded by Neil. Please vote yes or no to accept it. cu, BobC ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
