Just talked to Tom extensively... here are some key points to get across:
1. the old FSC is in serious transition and moving fast and hard to get everything online, message board, polling, memberships, etc. but it is taking time.
2. Just because Cambria is going one direction doesn't necessarily mean that FSC is going the same way.
3. Position Papers are being prepared and the voice of the webmasters will be included.
4. FSC is trying to get included in the hearings and making it clear that webmasters must be included is part of that effort.
5. The FSC Lobbyists do have a lot more support than what is projected in the media and we have to help our politicians understand the issues so they can help make sensible policies.
6. The idea of a filterable metatag is merely an idea and is open to discussion, debate, and counsel. The idea of a proactive approach is a good one regardless and that is what is being suggested for now until better ideas are presented.
7. Political process and lawsuits don't happen in Internet time and people have to be patient about certain aspects of the process. On the other hand - every single suggestion and plan of action presented by its members is helpful now and must be immediately considered. However, decisions in a democratic organization take time - even when there is online polling people will still need to be given time to make decisions.
