RE: [alac] Fwd: Appeal to the ALAC

[Izumi AIZU <aizu@xxxxxxx>]

I agree with Roberto, and if Danny is not insisting on our resignation
(or even he still is;-)) , I support the establishment of good online
discourse. My only problem is how much time/energy I can devote
to some possible complicated debates, but that is an excuse,
and I am optimistic that many of our colleagues collectively can
produce a reasonable and valuable outcome.
