I am sorry,
That came out wrong.
What I meant was, we should "continue" to drive the GEO discussion.
With you and the others in the new AMSAT-NA BOD, chances are very good that things will start moving forward.
Your efforts are well noted, and very much appreciated.

There is a large number of people on this list that can help. We have a window of opportunity here, and we should take advantage of it.
