Re: AERC Bylaws Suggestions

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the thoughts re Internet Board meetings.  Most Board members
agree that face-toface debate is best.  The problem is the Board only
meets twice a year but the national and regional issues that come up are
constant.  If we have to have a  conference call, the cost is in excess
of $1,000 (obviously these are not routine).  The only other alternative
is voting by mail, and again, the "personal touch is lost,"  but it
takes less staff time, costs less and is much faster.

Thanks again for the input, any other suggestions?

Ramey
