Tina, Ed Book has long been known on USGENWEB-ALL as someone who provides thoughtful, and in my opinion very objective, analyses of the Project By-Laws. He seems well versed in Parliamentary Procedure. For the benefit of those who haven't been with the Project very long or who were not subscribed to USGENWEB-ALL in 1998 (not just Board members, but also anyone reviewing BOARD-L archives), the following list of messages from Ed Book are a good introduction to his qualifications and communication style: isearch file # 839 9/29/98 [USGENWEB-ALL-L] Re: Poss.

E.g., "board meeting in private" rather than "By-laws and board".) If anyone wishes, I can also personally forward any of the preceding messages. Teri Pettit pettit@adobe.com
