Tim, In your answers to Fred, you asked the question about why the subject of Incorporation was brought up now. This subject isn't new. There are messages from Bridgett in March and again in May regarding TN Incorporating as Nonprofit. In some of those messages she said bylaws were being written at that time and as soon as "nit picky" things were worked out they would then be sent to the RCs who would then forward them to the CCs. At the time there didn't seem to be a doubt that TN was working towards Incorporating as Nonprofit. I saved some of those messages and will be happy to forward them to this list. They, along with all the other messages on the TNGen-L list, are also archived for anyone to search and read. Surely, there is nothing harmful or destructive with a democratic discussion and a democratic vote along these lines. Its unfair for several people to speak for the CCs of Tennessee on any issue. I still maintain when the CCs were asked for their opinion as to what name to use should TN Incorporate, 26 out of 110 responses in just a few days showed quite a bit of interest.
