Nathan and all members: There have been NO secret agenda's as you seem to think. Any policy's and procedures that affect the membership of ALHN have been and will always remain open to all ALHN members. Under YOUR presidency there was a set of bylaws created and passed by the membership that offered the membership the means to offer alhn legacy web sites. How those web sites will be stored will be the subject under discussion. In the past there has been no structure that would allow abandoned sites or sites left to alhn any alternative except you moving it to your pa-roots family of web sites which, as of now, there are 21 states connected to the server that you and others control and own. The current bylaws that allow people to leave their data to alhn needs an archive type web site. A web site that is controlled by the board, which was elected by the membership of alhn. If you think that this is a secret maneuvering and forming 'secret' policy's and procedures then, unfortunately you are mistaken.

I fully support the need of the ALHN Board to be able to enter into executive session. However that should be an extremely rare occurrence as there is not much that happens within the scope of the Boards business that needs to occur in secret. Will this be an item on the December agenda? I would kindly ask the Board not to conduct routine business (i.e. making policies and plans) on this Executive list. All normal business of the Board should be conduct on the public list.
