[MLB-WIRELESS] Fwd: invitation

[Clae]

Hi,

I received this invitation recently from the E-Communities Networking 
Association, which was formed at the end of the Electronic Networking 
- Building Communities conference I attended recently.  I joined ECNA 
as an individual, and I am in the process of signing on to the 
discussion forum described below.  We've also discussed the prospect 
of MW joining this Association.

ECNA has basically gone down the same road as us -ie forming under 
the standard model rules, and allowing time for discussion of 
purposes and intentions before adopting those rules into a working 
constitution

I'll keep the list posted on developments.

Clae.
