Bob - consider that there is also a meeting on
Sunday, and a midyear meeting too. I suspect that many of these items will be
tabled until Sunday (as new business) or remanded to committee for further
review. Barney is very aware of the large amount of business, and short amount
of time, and we have discussed the potential for exactly what you describe -
rushing things because time is running out. None of us want this. Very little of
the business before us will be 'gotta do it now' business. We have a lot to
consider, but no need to make snap decisions. Truly we have put an enormous
amount of work into this, and nobody is going to want to shortchange any good
ideas because we don't have time to fully consider them. If anybody thinks
Sergeant Barney's meetings are not well conducted - please come and sit in on
the Thursday night session. If you can stay awake, I think you will be very
impressed by how far the meetings have come.
Yes, please comments are welcome by all.

Steph is quite
right. After attending part of last year's BOD meeting on Thursday
night(staying awake was somewhat difficult), Sunday's meeting, and the Midyear
meeting, I must say that Barney has his ducks in a row. I had heard the
"horror" stories of the meeting marathons and the arguments going on for quite
some time. Very nice to have a meeting where the topic for discussion is
brought up and everyone gets a chance to speak. Often our discussions lead
to the motion being remanded to committee for further review and or different
wording. I never felt that we were making snap decisions. We also
have the option "to agree to disagree".
Comments are
always welcome. I've received a handful already, and I am considering the
opinions and ideas of the members who have written to me before I make my
decisions.
