Kay,

To clear my statement up, I have no problem if a neutral statement is sent out by the director or HQ.

Just so we are all clear about what's on the table. I have re-read the
messages from the past few days.

The specific wording of the appeal by Director Rehman asks that *he* as
Director be allowed to send out a reminder. The last sentence of his message
says:

"I respectfully request that Directors that agree that my sending a reminder
email to the NFL members needs to be decided by the entire Board so
indicate."

As I understand it, the question is not about having HQ send out a
non-partisan reminder notice that a SM election is in progress but rather
about the Director doing so. Not HQ, not either HQ or the Director, but the
Director. Period.

Thus far, here are 10-cent versions of the responses of the 8 Directors who
have commented on the ODV. If I have mis-characterized your position in
boiling it down, I apologize:

Lisenco - OK for either Director or HQ
Edgar - OK for "generic" reminder
Mileshosky - OK
Norris - OK for either Director or HQ, changed to OK for HQ but not Director
Widin - OK for "neutral" reminder
Ahrens - OK for HQ
Woolweaver - OK
Weaver - OK for HQ

We may be able to see 5 Directors in support of Director Rehman's specific
appeal on the basis of those responses. On re-reading all the comments this
morning, I'm just not certain about that and respectfully ask for your help
in reaching clarity.

In no way whatsoever do I want to sandbag the process, thereby thwarting the
will of the Board. Also, I'm aware that the clock is ticking on the NFL
election.

However, it would be very helpful and much appreciated if Directors would
re-post your position about the *specific language* in Director Rehman's
appeal to the ODV, so we can be certain that there are at least 5 Directors
supporting the appeal.
