Dear Joe,
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
As you now know, this was not true. No one - including you - was "banned" from attending the session. I apologize for whatever glitch prevented you from logging in initially under whatever name you wanted to use (an applaud your tenacity in logging in under another name). However, you were able to log out, and log back in under your preferred name - Joe Baptista - so you saw that you were not banned from participating. Thanks for your attendance.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
Cheers,
</DIV>
<DIV>
Derrick

<DIV> I just logged into this - and have discovered that my name "Joe
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Baptista" is banned from logging in. Obviously the people behind this
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> nonsense (Milton Muller??) do not subscribe in practice to the so called
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> open stakeholder participatio model they worship.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Censoring people is not proper.
<DIV> </DIV>
