Congratulations for timely postings of minutes for the last several meetings. Now if we could only get people to post the meeting agendas ahead of time.
I would certainly have attended had I realized that registration/formalization would be on the agenda. I would have had interesting suggestions - such as: - voting rights given for level of participation on the list (allows non-resident participation) - voting rights restricted to members who have been on the list for several years (assures continuity and prevents take-overs) - and others May I be bold enough, to suggest, that as a process leading up to registration(or even if we later decide never to register), that we try to formulate what we are about i.e. a set of aims & priorities as well as a set of guidelines for posting to the list, however loose. I know that most registered societies normally do a cut-and-paste job but I strongly recommend a slow and deliberate process for creating a *real* document that has been hammered out to truly represent our aims and aspirations, as far as is humanly possible. I believe that starting such a process would ignite enough interest (perhaps too much!), even if all is apathetic now - if the flames and wars on this list is any indication! raja -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
