Re: [alac] [Fwd: Final Call on Resolution]

[Erick Iriarte Ahon <faia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Izumi and Vittorio

I understand that you signed the document like individuals (and the another 
persons in the document in same way), but if you put xxx, ALAC, is possible 
to understand a support from this organization. Maybe if vittorio signed: 
Vittorio Bertola, ISOC Italy, or you signed Izumi AIZU, ANR ; was more 
clearly for all that its like individuals and not in rep. that ALAC.

When the collective (ALAC) decided to sign the document, we will put: "ALAC 
endorse the document".

So, for the moment, i suggest to change your sign in the document and 
discuss if ALAC support it.

Erick

pd. a question where i can endorse the document. If you can help me, 
please. Erick Iriarte Ahon, Alfa-Redi (LAC)
