Derek
I am  keeping these comments direct to you and not on the discussion  page.

 
>>>>>>  my 2 cents worth;



I think I would have asked Jim's permission before reproducing his  email... 
this is a bit inimical, and something that is regularly done on this  list. 
Simple etiquette would be nice on the list. We should ALL  respect each other 
enough not to make private messages public, without  permission. I respectfully 
suggest that all of us abandon this  tactic. 
 
 .. still, the rules were written for a reason, and we SHOULD follow  them.  
Something we've not been good at, being a rather loose coalition at  best, but 
the bylaws were created to provide some continuity. If we make a  mistake, 
what the heck, back up and try again.  None of this will affect  the conflict in 
Iraq, or any other world problem! VBG 
 
The third party thing was included to keep incumbents safe from the claims  
of nepotism, in the event an election didn't go a particular way.  The AMA  has 
handled it in the past, don't understand why we had to pay a CPA firm, but  
that is of little consequence.  Since we've unwittingly strayed from the  
straight and narrow, let's recognize that fact and get back on it.  
 
The third party should be allowed to rectify variances. We let them  dictate 
a remedy.  Keeps things above board; and we can plan a little  better next 
time around, now that we recognize the difficulties today. Again,  let the CPA 
firm fix it; keeps everyone free from suspicion. Not that there  should BE 
(again, the lack of civility thing, which has no good place here) any  suspicion, 
but let them handle it. FWIW, Derek, I trust you. 
 
Brian
