Fellowship Response

Dear
Richard, Georges, Kwan, Gard and Mo,
Thank
you for your letter of November 13.
We
find it encouraging that you are willing to meet with representatives of the Fellowship
to resolve the remaining website related issues.
We regret that you do not find the numerous changes we have made in response
to your complaints meaningful. As you
know, in addition to making those changes, we have also indicated to you our willingness
to make additional changes as part of a final negotiated settlement between our
two organizations. We hope to reach such
a settlement in the near future.
We
find your suggestion that Richard, Avi and others observe discussions between
Steve Hill and Ross Plourde in Oklahoma City on December 13 puzzling, since it
comes on the heels of conversations between Avi and both Richard and Gard on this
subject. At the conclusion of these conversations, it was agreed that we allow
the attorneys to hold their talks unencumbered by the presence of “observers.”
We fully expect, as we know you do, that the attorneys will ably represent
their respective clients’ interests during their discussions and will subsequently
make recommendations on the basis of which we may be able to move forward toward
resolving our differences.
We
look forward to meeting with you in order to reach a final settlement. We propose
that our meeting be scheduled after the attorneys have had their discussions and
have brought forward their recommendations. At that point, we will be in position to jointly
draft an agenda and to determine specifically who should participate in the meeting.
Sincerely,
The
Fellowship Negotiating Team
