I certainly don't intend to get involved in a 2 year old grievance that
you have with NZOSS. 

What we're proposing to discuss is an organisation that would support
and enhance local LUGs, hopefully you don't so that as a negative thing
and if you have constructive input into the goals that such an
organisation might have we would love to hear them.
