With all due respect I'd suggest it is not for you or I to set Melbourne
Wireless policy, it is up to the members.  If the membership wants IP
access to the net, are you going to say no?

And if so, how exactly are you going to do that?

If you'll remember back that far you'll remember it wasn't everyone it
was a few vocal members and you'll also remember me pointing out that it
was up to the membership to decide policy.  We may well agree on no
external linkage to the Internet. Or we might not.  I'd like it, I'll
vote for it, it's not why I'm here, I just am a fan of redundancy.

Such as exactly what we are.
