David, The Advisory Board has been discussing this motion for a long time. All I hear is your stating, adamantly, in fact, your dissatisfaction. I am sure they are your very strenuous convictions as to what you *feel* is wrong with the motion and I respect that, *but* I have yet to see you contribute anything constructive to word this motion to allow it to fall within your convictions and, I hope, those convictions of the Project members that you represent. You have not suggested any changes, all you have done is "yell" at the rest of us and in turn at the very members that we each represented while we have thoughtfully constructed this motion over the last few months with input from them. I repeat, if you have nothing but rhetoric to contribute to this motion than quietly state "no further discussion" and allow it to come to a vote. You do have a vote. This grand standing is not helpful nor is it becoming and quite frankly is getting tedious. Do you have anything constructive to add to this discussion?
