whoaaa ... it's not just a "list" thing, it's a *fairness* thing.  the suggestion 
was to include *everyone*, not just the list members in the process ... while 
teh list might reflect a cross section of the regions populace, it does not 
reflects *all* the populace.  decisions made here exclusively would be 
totally unfair to the non cyber cynn, not to mention would be grounds to be 
overthrown from above upon reasonable challenge.
 
the power of this media ("the list") is about discussion, ideas, consensus 
building.  of course there's objection and conflict, as it should be. that's 
how societies built on democracy and equality among free individuals (not 
the SCA, that's an overlay "game" ... a good topic for another time) are all 
about.  in it's truest and oldest sense, this environment is a "forumn" 

once again, decisions made by any real or percieved elite ("the list") will 
only serve to build walls, and de-rail or stop the grass-root development of 
these regional / principality issues. getting as many of the populace as 
possible involved and basing ultimate decisions on input from *everyone* 
will build the kind of community needed at this point in time..
