Rick I too am leaving for a meeting I am unable to miss. The Members already know what happened at the meeting; their information is remarkably accurate. The minutes are not going to tell them anything they don't already know, or think they know. The majority of the criticism from the Members is not that the Board minutes have not been timely, but rather that the minutes have concealed more than they disclosed. My concern, with all the allegations of secrecy and collusion, without regard to any claim of merit to same, is that we do not provide fodder for those allegations by publishing minutes that are at odds with the very accurate information on the street. The minutes should reflect fully, in accordance with League Bylaws and Robert's Rules, what occurred. Dan's draft is just that, a draft. I will defend Dan against any allegation he intentionally omitted any matter, but with respect, Dan's draft is in my opinion incomplete. My suggestions may be found to be without merit, but they are worthy of consideration. I will submit them over the weekend after I have confirmed my memory of events with my notes and with others. This Board may then decide whether to make any changes. Travel safe. _______________________________________ John Robert Stratton N5AUS Vice Director Legislative Director West Gulf Division Office:512-445-6262 Cell:512-426-2028 P.O.

Jay Fair question. Answer: no later than Sunday, as unlike you rich Minnesota lawyers some of us are still playing catch-up after the Board Meeting. My changes need to be confirmed by others and the suggested corrections will be done.

Dan I wrote you on the 24th to advise there were additions needed. Two days later, you have issued "Final Minutes" without waiting for those additions. I assume that is an oversight due to the crush of business.
