[At-Large] [NA-Discuss] NARALO Formation Meeting

[Mr. Robert Guerra]

quick comments...

- coordinating the may NA meeting. Who is the lead person. I've  
traditionally corresponded with Jacob and other NA ALS's about such  
matters. should i continue to do so, or not? I'm confused by the  
earlier reference to a North American Liason staffer. Know there's a  
Canadian liason, but was not aware there was a NA one as well. Has  
Jacob been promoted to cover both Canada, the Caribbean & USA?

-  Phone meeting, of course is always an option. structured well, it  
could be as productive - if not more than a face to face meeting.

- as this is a NA issue, can the matter be confined to the NA list?  
Getting duplicate messages is , well, a bit of a nuisance.

regards,

Robert
