Josh: You might offer a pod-cast of the meeting, and perhaps allow members to email in questions or comments to be addressed during the meeting. Tom From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Josh Haldeman Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 6:14 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [DML] DOA/DCS Hi Mike, Right now, our Board meetings are only open to Association members. (another transparency issue in my opinion) I'd like to change this, but if we can't make the Board meetings open to the public, we should at least provide documented minutes of the meeting, so that people can see we're not planning any evil doing. The Board meetings are conducted using a free web-based teleconferencing system that we all call into. If you join the association, you'll receive an e-mail from me about a week before the call with the agenda and the call-in information. If I can get the Board to agree to let me post the call-in information publicly, I will do that here. I think the fear is that if we post it publicly, we may get too many people, and the call would be impossible to manage. Still.I'd like to try and make it as open as we can. Regardless of what happens, I'll keep you posted on my efforts. -Josh [moderator snip] ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
