[governance] Letter to Rod Beckstrom

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

and if the civil society orgs had the lobbying clout, wouldn't we use  
it?
wouldn't it be malfeasance to one's members not to do anything legal  
one could?

and perhaps we do have the clout among some our participants,
but we do not seem to organize lobbying efforts with the same zeal.

perhaps we should
- not that i know anything about what it takes to lobby US congress
or anyone's legislature for that mater..

a.
