Quarterly report

[John Messing <jmessing@law-on-line.com>]

This is a second request for quarterly reports from the technical
committees.

I sense that our failure to have met a previous deadline for a second
quarter report may be a symptom of a general complacency or malaise that
has come over the member section. I feel that things are starting to
fall by the wayside. Quorums are not met and so meetings stall; meetings
are scheduled but arrangements with conference centers are not made.
Reports are due but deadlines slip.

As your chair I think it is part of my responsibility to point these
developments out without assigning blame. It is an opportunity for all
of us to re-examine our commitments, look at what needs to be done, and
do it. Let's remove the rust by sharpening our blades, and have the
knives cut as though hot through butter.

Please submit your combined second and third quarterly reports to me
without delay.

Thank you.

Best regards.

Our cycle for quarterly reports has slipped because of a delay in
receiving the eNotary TC report for the first quarter of this year. Our
third quarter report is due July 23. I propose doing a one-time combined
second and third quarter report setting for the accomplishments for the
first and second quarters and the projected work for the third quarter.
Please have your reports to me as early as possible but no later than
July 18 to make this possible.

Thank you.
