Ms Burr:
I must protest this proposed teleconference (see below) with "ORSC
folks". This is a matter some importance, and of wide interest to
many people. Privileged, closed access for the ORSC is simply not
fair to all these other interested parties, and is in fact completely
at odds with the values that ORSC claims to hold.
Thanks for your attention.
