I will not be making the edits suggested lest yet another round of issues concerns and complaints bursts forth from the NARALO list further delaying our noe overly delayed process
The "concerns and complaints" referred to above were internal to NARALO until they were cross-posted to the ALAC internal list. Nothing "burst forth" from the NARALO list without the active effort of people outside the region. Note the subject line. An internal discussion -- an ALAC rep requesting guidance from the region on how to vote -- was re-broadcast to the rest of ALAC (and, I would note, separately CCd to the ExComm mailing list in yet another abuse of its function). Why were all these CCs added, if not to provoke inappropriate outside comment and prolong the process? Perhaps this result may serve as an disincentive to similarly pointless cross-posting in the future. - Evan
