to me only if you mean that there are people who signed this petition who

I would agree with you that the SW/SC list shouldn't be cluttered up with
this stuff, but then I believe the trend started with the posting of the
URL for the petition on the SW/SC list. That information should never have
appeared on the list and certainly not posted by AB members. The posting of
the URL was politically motivated by opponents of Teresa that happen to b

This petition has been drawn up by Keith Giddeon, to require the USGenWeb
Project Advisory Board to initiate a recall vote in regards to the
Representative-At-Large, Teresa Lindquist.
The Advisory Board has declared Ms. Lindquist "a member not in good
standing." Pending an appeal from Ms. Lindquist, or enough signatures on
the above petition, the Advisory Board cannot take further action.
This announcement in no way reflects the opinion of your Advisory Boar

Almost.

1, Do you believe that all of the AB's business should be conducted in open
session and that Board-Exec should never be used?
No. There are times when confidentiality is necessary to prevent
embarassment of Project members; or when what is being discussed could
possibly be detrimental to the Project. Grievances and personnel issues are
the most common problems discussed in closed sessions.
2. Do you believe that Teresa's posting of the e-mail messages of
Board-Exec was within the scope of the bylaws?
