Christoph,
Can I please have an explanation of what happened here???? You sent
out a list yesterday of partipipants that we had all agreed upon. Today,
you sent out emails to a DIFFERENT list, inviting an additional
participant (Zorita) who we SPECIFICALLY DISCUSSED and decided (as I
understood it) would not be invited because of personality conflict
issues. At the very least, this needed further discussion, not
unilateral overruling without notice.
I'd like an explanation of what happened here. I do not believe
that this event will be constructive and amicable with Zorita's
participation. If the recommendaitons of the organizers are not going to
be followed, I am unsure I can participate in or endorse this event. If
Zorita is in, I am out!
