That is reasonable. I have asked for explinations repetedly, and
recieved none. As to the IAC list , and Registration, I noticed a
recent request for imput on these matters. This is starting to look
like a ploy, to simply "quiet the masses" let me explain. At the June,
convention , "business meeting" The chair(Jim Wilkens)asked for any who
were intrest if helping formulate new or refined thinking on those
matters, to sign a sheet.( this also looked wonderfull to me at the
time) I was one of the first to do so. Jim W. expressed warm thanks,
saying he had hoped I would want to do this. The implied if not said
thinking was that a revised piece of work, with some constructive
suggestions, would be taken to the October meeting of the "new voting
board" Well it is now into Sept. I have not had so much as a simple
contact . I have posted messages to Jim. and touched on this matter ,
as well as many other that affect out organization. Silence from Jim.
I will next patiently try writing a letter , if that fails, will phone.
What else can one do to get the needed information?
Thanks
Ran
