Re: [idn] Supporting list for Draft-liana

[liana.ydisg@juno.com]

I don't feel like to argue about who is qualified to
vote or to show supports.  I'd like to ask you how
do you value a colleague input to you when they 
understand your idea quickly but does not
spend as much time as I do to read all these messages
on the list, and who does not feel confident either 
in language or understanding of the subject to comment
on particular issues in discussion?  
If you ever notice, I did not vote on ACE, since I feel
all the work being done is scientifical sounding, I
don't need to spend more time on them.

To me, the people in the leaked list are very  important, 
as I learn from them continuously.  Actually, I am sorry about 
exposed them too early and have brought  unnessary 
trouble for them.
