Re: PAB Should we speak?

[Mark Measday <measday@josmarian.ch>]

In reference to Mr Crispin's request, I thought your clever idea was to
let IFWP friends reinvent the work the POC/CORE people did so well so that
the participants could feel the necessary levels of ownership and
inclusion to allow the process to progress. Hence, I heard it
hypothesised,  the silence and the contented wait, due to the fact that
there isn't any way to allocate a global resource other than by
consultation with the interested parties, whose predictable interests will
lead to a predicated result. I hope you planned the clever dénouement,
too.

Regards,

MM
