<p>My interpretation stands with John in that Andrew was not
attempting to speak on and for the community, but rather voiced
his own opinion and believe that Mirriam could not based on the
current information available draw any conclusions on behalf of
the community.</p>
<p>I agree with Andrew.</p>
<p>Kind Regards,<br>
Jaco<br>

<div class="">Hi Sami and all the others,</div>

<div class="">It is interesting how different people can
read the same paragraph and understand it very
differently. What I understood when I read Andrew's
email was more like this:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">"Do not make a decision yet Mirriam. The
community has not decided yet. Just because there were a
few vocally against it, does not mean the community is
against it."</div>

<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Interesting! When I read it, I interpreted
Andrew as doing exactly the same as he was accusing Mirriam
of i.e speaking for the community or part thereof. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I saw Mirriam as suggesting an approach which
makes a lot of sense. We should not shroud in a trivial
discussion about what to call ourselves.</div>

Does this mean I, and others like me, are
