I talked to Gus on the phone tonight, shortly after Lan's post. The
impression I got was similar to Lan's report.
Now for a question. What has happened to the election of officers that
should take place in May? I'm speaking of all the seats on the Board
of Directors, president, vp, secretary and treasurer. Was the election
in April supposed to include those positions?
I personally think there needs to be an audit of the books for both
SDCS and SDMUG, before any money is returned. The SIG guidelines
require that when SDMUG secedes from SDCS they must turn over their
treasury to SDCS. This would be the opportune time, before the money
is "donated" back to then newly formed 501(c)3 non-profit corporation
that was set up by the SDCS board with "their own money".
Is there a strategy we can employ to force this to happen? Is it
worthwhile? I get the distinct impression that there has been a case
of the "fox guarding the hen house" with the interlocking boards of
SDMUG and SDCS. Am I being paranoid, or is there really a conspiracy?
