Re: News from COMMON?

I wondered as well about the use of Email addressees.
There likely is a member of Common board and the iSociety project
that can speak to the confidentiality/privacy or use of  email addresses
acquired in this manner.

Greg,

Having a signin is a way of collecting email addresses.  My question is: "What
are they going to be used for?".  Am I going to be bombarded now with requests

to join COMMON .... or worse yet, is COMMON going to sell these to vendors as a

way of raising money?
