RE: PSO-PC Position on the Alternative Roots Issue



Dear Brian, Vlad and all,

I coincide with the clarification given by Vlad. Only statements from the 
PSO PC should be posted in the "new" area of the PSO web site, but those 
statement can have a single set of words agreed by all or a mixture of 
statements "agreed by all + agreed by some" as in the case of the 
Alternative Roots and the At Large.

I also do not want places in the PSO web site for every supporting 
organization. For that purpose we all have our own web site.

Kind regards,
Azucena
