RE: The Democratic Answer to new home - VOTE



Katharine,

I haven't voted for yahoo or google. My favoured choice at the moment is
'wait for university-based people to try to come up with a university'.
Having said that if the list minder loses her/his job we would be back to
the current situation. 

John.

Well, I've taken the liberty to quickly tally the comments that have  
appeared so far, and understand I'm taking a liberty here in  
interpreting comments as votes; this in no way of course represents  
an official count, or even an unofficial count, it's just a way of  
trying to get a "sense of the meeting" (I was brought up Quaker) to  
this point.  If anyone feels I've misrepresented your position,  
please correct me, although as I said this isn't an official count in  
any way.  If anything, at this point, it's more of a compendium of  
early thoughts and concerns, and may be useful for helping set up  
questions/categories if anyone's going to set up an official survey  
using Survey Monkey or whatever.  (And note, these are not exhaustive  
or mutually exclusive, just a summary of the comments so far, FWIW.)
