RE: [alac] Mission and Vision Statements

[Annette Muehlberg <Annette.Muehlberg@xxxxxx>]

I like Sebastians statement,  I just would like to explain a little more what 
representing "end-users interests" means. It touches issues of consumer rights 
protection, technical stability, securing privacy and so on and I would like to 
see that expressed in that statement.
