I have several questions about Jerry Hanken's statement but I want to
focus on this one:

--- In , wrote:

Jerry Hanken

I sat through the first two meetings of the new board in Cherry Hill
on August 4-5 and then the two meetings of the board in Crossville on
November 3-4 which were broadcast online. In addition, I have read all
of the BINFOS.

In none of these four meetings was any substantive issue discussed or
decisions made. They seemed just like bull sessions where everybody
came unprepared and just sat around saying anything that crossed their
minds.

On the other hand, during the five meetings when I was on the board,
along with Don Schultz and Beatriz Marinello, at every meeting there
was a lot of discussion of the issues facing the federation and many
decisions were made. In addition, there was a daily exchange of email
BINFOS among the board members.

Can you kindly tell us exactly what "Problems are being dealt with in
a timely manner"?
