Hi Tom. I share Chriss concerns about the propriety of accepting discounts from manufacturers. We need to be sensitive to whether such practice would give the appearance of impropriety, even though there was no actual misconduct involved. The Guidelines for Ethical Conduct of Officers and Directors in Section 2.1 of the Directors Workbook do not specifically address the issue. But it certainly makes it clear that Officers' and Directors' ethical behavior must be beyond reproach. As noted in the guidelines, our "every action will be on public display." I question whether accepting such discounts would withstand public scrutiny.

It would seem to be good to put into place a process whereby we will not get bitten by the same bug during the next power failure. Some questions: Is the power outage indication transmitted by any means to staff personnel? If not, can such a system be instituted? UPS lasts for some finite time, generally long enough for servers and systems to be closed in an orderly and non-file-damaging method. Do we need more UPS capacity, or a method whereby the staff will be provided sufficient time to get to the office to perform shutdown routines, or both? If these issues are already being addressed, please advise of the projected implementation time. If they are not being addressed, please advise of the plans to do so.

Many Directors and SM's will be meeting a lot of our members that weekend and it is good opportunity to push our members into action so that they will contact their congressional representatives and senators over the July 4th recess and get more cosponsors. Please remember that our grassroots program/network will not function as designed unless we keep those key members informed.
