</div></div><div>Actually I think this is exactly the kind of conversation that should<br>
be online, in the form of real debate like "I think the mission should<br>
/ should not include goal X, here's why", then it's quite relevant.<br>
Indeed I don't see how marketing can not take input from more than its<br>
own members.<br>
<font color="#888888"></font></div></blockquote><div><br>While relatively new to the group, i would also like to agree with Martin, in that i see no reason to keep anything from the mailing list, regardless whether people appear to be participating or not. Just because no one, or few people, have commented yet, does not mean that no one ever will, and i would have thought that these kinds of decisions should have as much visibility as possible.<br>
