Re: PAB Critics Decry New Net Government

Kent,

FWIW at this late hour...

I think the PAB should say something.  The alternative is 
to join the ranks of groups that can't agree on anything 
and are hence doomed to be completely ineffectual in this 
arena.  I think your note is a very good example of 
"something", and is consistent with a long series of 
general PAB positions.   And, perhaps like Bill, I see some 
worthwhile ideas in some of the alternate proposals and 
suggestions, but they are things I'd like brought to the 
early attention of the new board rather than things I find 
"compelling" (the latter often has the semantics of 
"important enough to hold things up while we try to resolve 
or fix", and I don't think that is the case.

So, as far as I'm concerned (mostly as an individual -- 
this note has not been reviewed within MCI WorldCom), ship 
it.  Don't let a quibble about a phrase commenting on 
proposals we are not endorsing turn into a roadblock.
