Patrick,
I have read your email (below).
I would appreciate knowing if the entire board was
present and expressed their "sense" on the issue of the
US$75 paid membership issue, or if any board members were
absent.
Also, if there were any dissenting statements on the board,
it would be good to make those public.
This is not intended to embarrass anyone, but this issue is
of sufficient importance to people on this list so that
dialogs on this issue can be opened.
