Hi <br>
<br>
Thanks Dave, we are all anxious to make something great happen with
a fiber network for Davis. I appreciate your desire for us to
represent ourselves to the best of our ability, to ensure we achieve
the desired outcome. <br>
<br>
That being said too, this last email sent to the davis gig announce
list was not something that was closely thought out, it was more
just a forward of availability of the at large positions, which we
hope capable and like ,inded citizens will fulfill. <br>
<br>
. The next email to that list will have more thought to it and
editing, and I'll make sure to forward it to you first. <br>
<br>
thanks<br>
RAN. <br>

<font face="Tahoma">Rob, I obviously support DavisGIG's efforts
and the leadership you have taken on. However, you need an
editor to ensure your communications inspire confidence in your
audience. Everyone who writes a single line needs an editor, so
I encourage you to seek one out, maybe among your closest
associates, and to build in some time for messages to be edited
or, at least, to adjust your expectations regarding how quickly
you can turn around a communication. Below is an example of how
your email could have been improved. The first block is using
strikeout and underline to highlight edited text in red. In
case you are using plain text, the next block is the end result
of my edits. Your original version is below my signature block
for comparison. Yes, I would be willing to perform some editing
for you, but I have no idea what sort of schedules you are on.
I do encourage you to check with your close friends to get their
opinion on the value of edited communication and support
everything you are doing to show Comcast the door.</font><br>

Hi, All <br>
<br>
Let's get open access, community-owned fiber optic Internet for
all residences and businesses in Davis! <br>
<br>
DavisGIG efforts to accomplish this goal are continuing through
our informal activist group, and will now also proceed more
formally through the newly formed Broadband Advisory Task Force. <br>
<br>
We need to work on this using both approaches. <br>
<br>
Anyone in the community interested in serving on the Task Force as
a "member of the public" is encouraged to apply. <br>
<br>
Also know that DavisGIG plans to increase outreach to (the
community? our own members?) over this next year. <br>
<br>
More updates soon!<br>
