        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I have one simple but (I hope) effective proposal.
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Let us all (at least the ones who read these threads),
            compromise in bringing in a new member every month, for the
            next 6 months.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>But we need:</div>
          <div>a) to have a simplified (yet rigorous) admission process</div>
          <div>b) to improve the quality of the language we use in these
            discussions. Some emails are so cryptic that any newcomer
             that read them feels a complete ignorant. Please let us
            avoid using abbreviations and topics that go way back to
            other threads and stuff like "John decided in the NCSO to
            argue against GAC proposal". Seriously guys, give the
            newcomers a break and let us use more friendly and inclusive
            language. And keep subjects on its relevant topic</div>
          <div>c) someone (not me) should prepare a standard welcome
            email with relevant links</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>So here are my two cents. </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>I will start tomorrow to bring new interested members to
            the Non-Commercial Users Constituency.</div>
