Re: request to delay elections until September - Cart before horse???

Kilnam and all,

  I don't see how you can even be considering elections of Names Council
members or a interim board for that matter until you have the issue
of what constitutes a valid and legitimate NCDNHC member.  This will
require that you have the distinction of NON-PROFIT and NON-COMMERCIAL
ironed out and defined in detail.

  However I DO believe that you can determine that you have a GA of the
NCDNHC NOW, based on the members of this mailing list...  This might be
a good base starting point to address the other foundation issues I
mention
above....
Thoughts??
