Thanks Alan.  Your description matches well how you've operated in the  
council to my knowledge.  This context seems a bit more charged at the  
moment, so I just don't want anyone feeling like there's this foreign  
entity in the room who's overstepping, or they can't say what they  
think or it'll be reported externally in the wrong way, or whatever.   
I actually would like to help facilitate inter-species understanding  
and conflict management if I can, while recognizing that I do have  
clear preferences on some matters where's there's been disagreement  
(e.g. the charter).  Anyway, as long as folks understand the intent I  
think things will gravitate toward the right balance, and if my views  
on anything are desired it won't be hard to elicit them.

Cheers,

Bill

PS: Uh, just got an email notice that Milton has posted a reply to  
replies, sigh...it's characteristically assertive but at least sticks  
closer to the charter/constituency issue, on which I do think we  
really should have had serious and reasonably inclusive dialogue  
before and are dealing with the consequences of that failure now.
