Ha. I like to think that the only time I put "Dr" in front of my name is when I'm writing letters to politicians or trying to get upgraded to business class on a flight ;) I've submitted an individual submission which has a bit of a free-software focus, if you're interested in taking anything from there and incorporating it into the FSM submission. It is based on a letter I sent to the original committee, and also I wrote a letter similar to this to all Victorian senators and my local member who voted for the legislation. https://www.aph.gov.au/DocumentStore.ashx?id=80422206-8ad8-4a80-b139-67c096c256ae&subId=666320 However, I think that you have already covered most of my points in your letter, which is well written! Just make sure that if you email this in, that you also follow up in order to make it public. For the original comittee, the default was for emailed correspondence to not be made public, and then I received an automated response saying "Thanks for your submission! blah blah (If you want it to be public respond to this email) blah blah" which I overlooked, and as such my original submission was not made public :( Cheers, pete. _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au https://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb Free Software Melbourne home page: http://www.freesoftware.asn.au/melb/
