[governance] Letter to Rod Beckstrom

[Parminder]

Subsequent to an offline exchange, I must make it clear that the term 
doublespeak is used not for Avri, since the point where it appears is 
far removed from what could in any way be construed as a direct response 
to her email.. It has to do with the attitude of many in the civil 
society who treat internationalization as not that important an issue, 
and we all know it is a fact that many don't, and often actively resist 
any moves in this direction. parminder
