Nungu discussion

Greetings:

I appreciate Vishal's suggestion that we continue this discussion in a more
private forum. We are committed to open communication, but sometimes it
makes more sense to limit a conversation to a smaller group.

I am now in email and/or phone contact with many of the parties involved in
the Nungu matter. Although it is difficult to assess the situation from a
distance, I am doing my best to hear all sides of the story and to find a
fair solution.

Rather than set up a separate discussion board, I suggest we simply
continue to email each other, using the Cc: field as appropriate to keep
other concerned parties in the loop. That said, anyone who wants to post
further public comments or responses should certainly feel free to do so.

In a recent post, t.whid wrote: "did [vishal rawlley] attempt to contact
rhizome admin before going public on raw? did rhizome admin give him the
brush-off? personally, i doubt it, i can't see mark tribe or rachel greene
ignoring this sort of thing if it would have been sent to them personally
and confidentially."

Vishal did send emails to several people at Rhizome.org, including me, on
or around August 19. I was on vacation at the time, and was not able to
respond promptly. I regret that I did not contact Vishal myself until
yesterday.

Sincerely,

Mark
