at this stage I have opened an account called campaign funds. It is up to RPM and the super mods to make a decision as to how best to use the money.bwana v.3 said:Perhaps I missed it but has there been an official announcement from rpm about this? I for one would like to know what my donations will be going towards. (NB I said will be as I fully intend to make a donation should it be for a worthy cause).
I recommend we utilise it by
1. running a full page ad in the sunday papers educating the masses inlaymans terms what the ICASA ruling is all about, what Telkom are doing, and what broadband inSA actually means
2. filling our coffers so that next time Telkom use their financial muscle to sway and manipulate public opinion, we are able to act immediately, or even pre-empt the situation instead of chasing around and having to react because we dont have the financial wherewith all to respond in kind.
For security sake, the account is opened in my name as MyADSL with no cheque book, no cards, no access to funds other than an online transfer. This leaves a clear audit trail of deposits and disbursements and no disbursements can be made from the account without the express instruction from RPM.
Hope this suits. There really was no other way to get the ball rolling fast than to do it this way.
