I'm not sure what city in Louisiana will be adopted yet, but we are open for suggestions and will decide by the end of the month. http://www.oregonfast.net/~katrina/katrinafund.htm Is a web site Tiffany started to work on yesterday. This effort is being sponsored by Tiffany, here at OregonFAST.net and Kelley Riggs from Elson Shields Property Management. So far a well to do older widow, who wants to remain anonymous has pledged a sizable donation. I realize this is not a direct wispa contribution, but it is from a fellow wispa member. So maybe you can find a deserving sister city that we can recommend to the powers that be.

Re: [WISPA] need WISPA to step up
Recognition and good will gained, are also forms of compensation and self servingness. But I'd hate to see any giving effort go without recognition. Thats part of the reward of giving.

Re: [WISPA] need WISPA to step up
OK guys that's enough. Part-15 is doing what it's doing. We're (wispa) helping with that effort to the degree that we are able to. No more infighting, back-stabbing or other whining. The people in the heart of this mess (the Katrina mess) don't have the time, need, or desire to read this junk. If you don't want to work with a group, don't.

Re: [WISPA] need WISPA to step up
I disagree with you Rick. Part-15's effort should be supported as well as WISPA's. Different organizations just have different ways that they can help, different resources to offer, and different goals to accomplish. Part-15 took an approach that may had more beurocracy involved and interaction with FEMA and FCC, but its still a method that got started early to fight through the beurocracy sooner, for a possible larger impact long term. WISPA member's support also had its roll to get help out immediately to those that needed it immediately like MAC's group, bypassing the beaurocracy. But all efforts help. At this point, I think most people's intentions are not self-serving, but to help where they can in a time of need. There will be plenty of reward after the fact for people that do assist, wether it is via press, compensation, access to new client's or just plain self satisfaction that the contributor attempted to be a better person. If we looked for corruption, minds could go wild, with possibilties. Imagination could make just about anyone's efforts look self serving. For example, where does the gear go after the crisis is over? But those are all secondary concerns to getting people help. Why shouldn't an association take advantage of benefits gainable associated with giving? So my opinion is put your contribution where you feel most comfortable putting it, but lets not knock anyone's assistence. Its not a competition.

Re: [WISPA] need WISPA to step up
"and the FCC are desperately trying to re-establish telecommunications throughout New Orleans, and are begging for equipment and help from ISPs and WISPs." Was it really necessary for the writer to use the words "begging"? What a jerk. Maybe Red Cross or Cox & Verizon can send the WISPs some of that 10 million, so WISPs can save their butt and restore service to their customers, that I'm sure will be out for MONTHS! Maybe if the ILECs and Cable companies didn't buy the legislature and detroy the ISP industry, they's still have money left to donate. Sorry for the rant, but the "begging" comment pissed me off. Maybe the writer should be down their helping out in stead of writing trash.

Great. That is what we wanted to here. WISPA has opened the door. Rick Harnish wrote: Brian and others, I can tell you that I have spent all day working on an attempt to work with Part-15. This isn't about, WISPA, Part-15 or any personal members of either organization. This IS ALL ABOUT helping those in need. Getting organized together and using WISP resources efficiently and prudently makes total sense. We have opened the door to Part-15 and are working with several manufacturers and people well known to our industry to assist us in this effort to mend fences with Part-15. It is time for all members to stop all the criticism and get behind the effort. Trust me, we are working diligently to get this done. It is a huge effort, more volunteer help is needed. It's time to pull together. Our industry can use this effort to our benefit or we can continue to fracture the industry with criticism of others. The basic fact is this: WISPA members love and believe in our industry and so do Part-15 members! So what is the problem here? We just need to remove the personal barriers that have been built up in the last few years.

RE: [WISPA] need WISPA to step up
That was not my point - The point is - WISPA is supposed to be a powerful organization in the making, and it seems that the help to support the food / shelter requirements is one thing - but they can also stepup and help out with the resources / logistics needed to make the Part-15 project a success. I am sure Bullit will not ask for help but it should be offered, after all WISPA is supposed to be the main voice of our industry or atleast that is my understanding was from it's conception. Not wanting to offend or piss anyone off Mac - you know you're a fellow neighbor to us, and anything you are doing definitely makes me proud.

I am a paying member of Part-15 and WISPA. I will support both. Most of the people in WISPA are also either paid or non paid members of Part-15. First and foremost the help that is needed is what it takes to get these folks to make it to tomorrow. They need food cash medicine cash lodging cash clothes cash and to know that America is behind them.

I am not sure where you will be getting uplink service to get out to the world from New Orleans but here is a link to someone who may be able to help with that. http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor/ Quoting Matt Liotta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I think at this point there is the support needed to provide help for > the hurricane, but we need some organization.
