Quoting Russell Coker (russell@coker.com.au):
Rick you cited some legal cases in the discussion, looking up such legal records takes some work. Also you have a history of answering questions on the mailing list. So I don't have any problem with your actions in regard to this issue, it wouldn't have concerned me if you had cast a proxy vote even if it was against the motion.
Well, thank you. I do value your good opinion, you know. Just to briefly reiterate a small passing point I made earlier: _If_ there might be any concern such as Daniel had, IMO a sufficient safeguard is to keep the LUG's key assets in private (and trusted) hands. Generally, a LUG's sole essential asset is ownership over its Internet domain. So, if MyLUG comes to regret its association several years back with BigEvil, Ltd. and has taken that one precaution, in my experience it then has all it needs to, if necessary, walk away from BigEvil, Ltd. and reformulate itself without the affiliation. Seems to me, if you do that, all the other angst and paranoia is no longer a concern. Just an idea.
