[statecom] [adcom] Explanation for actions

[Gracegrnrnbw at aol.com]

Actually, John's suggestion would remove all members of adcom and possibly 
all of CDLC and maybe some statecom members since we have not followed the plan 
in numerous ways.   These include: not sending letters required, sending 
letters in ways against plan specifications.   Not holding meetings.   Not 
communicating through the channels required by the plan.   Not treating candidates 
equally.   Not soliciting all delegates in the equal and transparent means 
defined by the plan...   Etc.

This suggestion, Gary, does not actually unfairly benefit any subgroup of 
adcom...

Yeah, we have wandered from the our own defined processes - Not a good 
situation.

And since statecom decisions have already been "defied", I wonder where John 
plans to start on the finger pointing...

don't personally recommend throwing the stone, since none of us are 
innocent...   Grace
