[statecom] PROPOSAL #A: APPOINT WANDA BOEKE AS FEMALE FACILITATOR OF THE SPECIAL STATE COMMITTEE MEETING

[Larry Ely]

Wanda and Jamie,

In reply to Jamie's question to me below, I still have concerns, but I 
would be willing to step aside from my concerns on Proposal #A (to appoint 
Wanda Boeke as female co-facilitator of the special state committee 
meeting), provided I hear from each of you (and that you send to StateCom 
list as well) that by doing so there will not be a proposal or an action 
taken that would retroactively invalidate the vote on Proposal #1, done 
under facilitation just by Jamie (with consultation with Dan), before Wanda 
volunteered to co-facilitate this special state committee meeting.

Larry


Larry,

Both Wanda and I have attempted to address your concern regarding
choosing Wanda Boeke as a facilitator for this meeting.  Does your
concern remain, and if so, would you be willing to stand aside on your
concern?

Thank you,

Jamie
