[liberationtech] Facebook: Building Global Community - What's your response to Mark Zuckerberg?

[Yosem Companys]

Thanks, Rand, for your message. I am going on a business trip tomorrow, but
I will definitely read your proposal when I return.

In the meantime, I hope others in the list give you feedback. We have an
excellent history of vetting proposals and software code. You just have to
have a thick skin because people will be honest about all the gaps in your
proposed program.

Best,
Yosem
