The USCF Executive Board has decided to hold the February 2008 meeting
online over the Internet. There is no way that the general membership
will be able to participate. This was because Paul Truong refused to
go to California and Bill Goichberg refused to hold the board meeting
anywhere other than California, where he lives during the Winter
months. I am wondering if it is a violation of the by-laws not to
invite the membership to one of the quarterly board meetings.

This has never been done before. Holding the meeting over the Internet
so that the general membership cannot be present and participate
defeats the very purpose of having these meetings. Otherwise, the
meetings could just be held by telephone conference call.

Apparently, the evil minions of the USCF can do nothing
right.

a) If they fly board members somewhere, they will be
accused of wasting the members' money.

b) If they don't fly them anywhere, they will be accused
of excluding the members.

c) If they were to demand that board members transport
themselves at their own expense, they would likely be
accused of excluding the ones who failed to show up,
as part of some evil conspiracy.


Typically, no solutions are offered by Mr. Sloan, just
never-ending complaints. (If complaining is the goal, I
heartily recommend replacing the worst officer of the
board with Sam Sloan, effective immediately.)
