As Owen told me "It is intended to be (to some extent) a lobbying group on behalf of its members.". Even if it is just limited to that, it goes against all bottom-up fundamentals. There is no place for advocacy/lobbying in a bottom-up community. You always tell me that you base your ideas on those of Rob Blokzijn. Well, then follow his basic rule: everybody speaks for themselves, and only for themselves. In a bottom-up community there is no place for "representation" of groups. Everybody's voice counts exactly the same. That is a rule that was at the heart of Rob's teachings.
