Position on Recent Changes (draft)

 

       There is no need to advertise the temporary reduction in Richard’s responsibility. He continues to be chairman.

       The restructure of duties is an internal decision. It relates to the apportionment of work. It is not a concern of the public.

       And yet the public may find out that something has changed. In the void of information, people will be left to draw their own conclusions. In the absence of information, people will be unlikely draw the correct conclusion.

       There is no way to control the response of the small percent of the public that finds out, if they find out.

       The question then is what degree of information do we release. For a damage control of ½-5% of our support base – why jeopardize the remainder when, there appears to be no effective way to communicate the reasons and details of this change? Furthermore, the changes are internal and with the exception of the public meetings, do not impact our public. No announcement to public is needed.

 

Position: To provide RK with time to pursue temporarily and he does continue to be Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

 

          We have decided to reorganize our meeting format to provide for a fresher presentation and to provide a wider base of support. From time to time Richard will be the speaker at these meetings. Schedules will be published.
