This is exactly what we're doing here. The idea remains to consult widely (one can only hope), find points of consensus, work through points of difference and get somewhere. Without a small group of people committed to doing this, I am not sure this will happen. It's been about 21 months since the MR process kicked off in Gdansk and we need to start bringing things to closure as this phase of MR is slated to wrap up at the end of March. So the group is just that - a group of people who are interested in the issue and committed to working together on it...this is not about ownership or taking credit or anything of that sort, this is about getting together to take New Models of Affiliation from a proposal to a reality. The discussion on meta is open to all. If you or others on this list could participate that would be a very meaningful way of continuing to contribute to what we have all worked on since July 2010 - and bringing it to fruition. Cheers Bishakha
