Yes, but you have asked me to bear the burden of what is essentially
absolute power. Those who accept it--and the authority that goes with
it--should rightfully be reluctant to do so and only if the group or
groups they lead accept that wholeheartedly.

I recognise this point and it is quite valid. See below...

I'd suggest that people do recognise me as the current convenor of the
CSDNA. For the time being let's leave me in this role seeing I do
have quite a reasonable handle on who's doing what. Unless someone
objects to this particular state of affairs let's just wait until the
next meeting on January 13, 2003 to see if we need to change them.
