I'm not going to espouse a particular view on this issue, but I think the
right questions to start with are:
1. Should APO, as an organization, do anything, in light of the present
relationship with BSA (the state of which is pretty well summed-up by the
letter I retyped and posted here Sunday)?
2. What should APO do?
No matter what, this should be an informed debate. What has been said on
this issue before? Are there similar issues that might lend additional
perspective? (one that springs to mind is the Permanent Normalized Trade
Relations status for China, with respect to human rights
policies/violations).
LFS,
Robert
