[governance] Miltons' Matrix is Wrong

[linda misek-falkoff]

Dear Eric (and greetings group):

We have not corresponded before but I hope you will welcome same.
I invite you to consider joining the *Respectful Interfaces* Programme of
the Communications Coordination Committee for the U.N. if you have interest
because your posts seem a good match. Sorry not to go into detail here, very
interesting reading.

Best wishes, LDMF.,
