RE: [oasis-board-comment] Policy of removal of members who do not respond to email

["Patrick Gannon" <patrick.gannon@oasis-open.org>]

Nick,

I can understand how frustrating this must be for you.  

Scott McGrath manages the operational process that sets parameters for the
member account deactivation, and he clearly is the right resource to
directly address your situation.  Scott is out on holiday but will be back
in later this week. He is in the best position to provide us with
recommendations for the types of adjustments to our process that can
eliminate or reduce the impact you have experienced.


Best regards,

Patrick Gannon
