MIke, I wish you the best for this interesting initiative. Two comments:
I believe that, in order to have a significant impact, the transhumanist
movement should consolidate rather than fragment even more. Wouldn't it be
better to use Pro-Act instead of creating a parallel organization?
I hope you plan to use some moderation in public statements. Regardless of
whether one agrees or not (I myself have mixed feelings), some statements
that you have made on this list could be misinterpreted and used by Luddites
as a powerful weapon against the transhumanist movement.
