That will probibly need to be discussed with by the board when
Michael chooses to. However, I will not that there is NOTHING
less generalized about our effort than anything else proposed.
In fact, our effort was announced very early, openly discussed,
and had an has been completely public.
But if you mean more generalized by not publiclly announcing the meeting,
putting the meetings on Saturday afternoon, and constructing an organization
to lead the event without a formal charter, a responsible accounting system,
without clear lines of authority and dispute resolution, without proper
trademark registrations, without proper legal status as a non-profit
corperation, etc, etc, then I would say that what would be presented has
many many serious red flags.
