Hi Darilee,

I saw your post about being away - do you care to share what your vote
would have been on motion 04-14?

Harold said: "I was not aware that Georgia CCs had had two thirds of
the CCs
file a complaint and it had not been recognized by the NC."

This is a totally incorrect statement. There were no grievances filed
with the AB against the leadership of Georgia in nearly a year... then
just recently that
leadership took it upon themselves to dismiss several CC's using
"disgruntled"...


Truly. There would have been no action taken against the leadership of
Georgia until they went for lack of better words "bonkers" and dismissed
CC's on whims.

The copyright issue is of major concern. Again. It was the leadership
of
Georgia that acted.

Yes the NC and the AB were slow to publicly acknowledge the dismissals.
We were listening to the "vocal' Georgoia CC's and information has been
exchanged since their dismissals.

Why Georgia and not North Dakota... I'm not sure. Perhaps it's the way
the
state is structured.

Regards

Darilee
