   Hmmmm.  This is a good question.  You mention about the TFCN 
"inheriting" the remains or such of the TFN.  My question is how will 
they inherit the remains and such of the TFN and is there anything stated 
or listed in the bylaws to deal with when the TFN becomes bankrupt???  
Maybe they would sell off their assets and donate the money to a charity 
or something???  Hmmm.  Maybe that's something to check on. :)  Of 
course, the sale of assets should be done by an independent organization. :)

   Hmmmm.  Ok.  You mention the GUI and IRC.  Well, the GUI, although 
nice, is really a luxury item, right?  As for the IRC, well, it too can 
be considered a luxury item as well.  Yes the IRC has been used with some 
meetings I've heard or such and if it is available, it should be usable 
by the general population here.
   Though one thing you have to remember here.  Anybody could have made a 
suggestion to be voted on during the last AGM, right?  If so, who says 
that even if a suggest was made, it was a good suggest.  You have to 
think realistically.  Just cause something sounds nice doesn't mean it 
can be practical.
