If there is nothing to hide then why are the minutes posted so late to the
net?

Please make the necessary effort to avoid personalizing the issues.

I was led to believe that the votes to move the information to the net could
only be done at the monthly meetings.  It appears that you are improving the
process.

My CIPS credentials are well known:  co-SIG chair for several years, speaker
at various SIG meetings.  I stepped down from those positions when I realized
that I could not contribute as fully as the membership deserved.  If you feel
that you as a volunteer cannot contribute fully then you should let someone
else do the job.  You have taken on the commitment, I am simply asking that
you fulfill it.

By the way, I see that the December minutes with the letter of censure have
been posted.  The Toronto Board has taken the narrowest possible
interpretation of the motion.  They have not written a letter of censure;
they have simply reported that a motion to write a letter of censure was
passed.
