[Sosfbay-discuss] Fw: Re: How We Elect Silicon Valley Regional Representatives

[Andrea Dorey]

I really agree with this.  We have a great deal of energy going out

and money to SCC GP, so I think the effort to do this *now* is going  
to interfere with all of that.
Let's think seriously about delaying it.
