Stop Telstra Campaign - First Campaign Committee meeting
========================================================

Thanks to all those who have volunteered to help the 
campaign , and now that initial discussion has established
that there is widespread condemnation of the proposal to
time-charge local data calls it is time to form an action
committee to co-ordinate the campaign.

I'd ask all persons interested in having input into the campaign
to meet with me and EFA board on IRC on Tuesday night , using the
undernet server irc.mpx.com.au on #efa. I suggest a start time
of 10.30 pm EST , and anyone who can't make the IRC meeting is
urged to check this list for the campaign agenda to be decided.

So far , Scott Broadbridge-Brown (sbroadbr@macquarie.com.au) for NSW,
Paul Kenna (flash@ozramp.net.au) for Victoria and Jase Przychodzen
(mnemonic@pobox.com) for South Australia have indicated that they will
handle co-ordination in their regions.

Stephen Darragh (srd.it.com.au) , Jase  and Tamara Morgan
(azure@southwest.com.au) will provide web service support. The use
of the campaign web site as a central conduit for updated data 
ought to be a major part of the campaign.

There will be a need for letter-writing and lobbying of politicians in
each State , armed with the stoptelstra.faq and with the assistance of
an editorial and information service. Each of you can write to local
newspapers and other media outlets to publicise and protest the Telstra
plan.

I am also interested in hearing from any person interested and with the
time to be campaign director/spokesperson , together with people who can
handle enquiries in all States and territories. As before, email to
kheitman@it.com.au .

So - first IRC meeting is on undernet , server irc.mpx.com.au on #efa.
Start time is 10.30 pm EST , and the meeting will adjourn to a time to
be agreed by the new committee.
