Bridgett,

I can understand the relunctancy of the cc's to instigate an election to
oust the SC but I think it is the responsibility of the state project (ie.
the cc's) to govern itself. Perhaps the cc's need to express the urgency of
the situation on the state mailing list and illustrate to the other cc's
just how serious the problem is. This way the other cc's will help them
make the decision and maybe the SC will see how serious the situation is
also and get their act together. I then think that if the cc's voted to
oust the SC as the bylaws require that the board would have no problem
supporting their vote.

Thanks

Trey Holt
