Somehow, it more > recently changed form. As GBC Unmoderated, it appears that initially it had a very focused purpose. I feel this purpose has been lost and question the necessity of this conference. I wrote to Babhru prabhu privately and mentioned that there are such a deluge of texts that mostly I simply file them, or glance at them most briefly and then file them. I wonder what we're accomplishing here. If I'm to continue as a member, which I'm seriously questioning at this point, I'd like to feel that there is a focus, something tangible that we can accomplish. Otherwise, I'm more practically engaged in all the other services I've taken on. What are the goals? Can we come up with some kind of mission statement? What can we do here that would push on this movement that Srila Prabhupada worked so hard for? If there are no answers to these questions, I suggest that this conference be closed for the time being.
