Subject: RE: No Chair!

Actually, the question of my resignation is a non-issue,

Oh, Bernard,  I don't think that was the intention.
I still assumed that you were the chair, since you did not officially resign
or call for a vote for a new chair.

I think that there is a grace period for this kind of transition. If you 
become an individual member, I think that you can remain as chair. Scott 
should be able to clear this up.

This is a committee decision and is not up to me or a few others.
I can post a ballot to this affect -- continue with the committee or not, 
create a new committee, etc.  --  and also we can see if we have volunteers 
for a chair(s).

We are now in the position of nobody with the ability to update our website 
-- so we can't even put out a ballot.
Scott, can you say how we should proceed?

Well this is your viewpoint, and I can add it as a choice in the ballot.

Any other choices for the ballot?

Cheers,
Mary
