Per Donna Alarie on the USCF Issues Forum:

Okay, so Susan now has another "Last Statement" on her chessdiscussion blog.

There's also another article from the NY Times - on the Gambit Blog - for
today.

So as not to run into AUG, I'll just assume everyone can go to those places
and read the comments and come back here to discuss.

Susan's post is similar to previous posts only now not only is Bill Goichberg
not welcome to be on the sub-committee, but they would like Randy Bauer
removed too.

Calling for a complete investigation is about three months too late. USCF's
leaders had their chance to provide a forensic expert and did not do so. The
membership had to do it.

However, the answer now is simple. Since Ms. Polgar has no reason to question
the expertise of Mr. Ulevitch, is Mr. Truong willing to forward permission to
view his ISP records to Mr. Ulevitch? Obviously, Mr. Ulevitch does not have a
dog in this race and if there is evidence which he has not considered in his
report, I am confident that as a professional, he would certainly be willing
to consider it now.

In the meantime, the recall effort is now going forward and it is going
forward publicly. It is my intention to keep the USCF membership, the NY
Times and any other chess news outlet which inquires - informed of the effort
regularly. USCF's public image has been damaged long enough. It's about time
the members do some damage control and reestablish faith in the organization
by demanding that its leaders adhere to their fiduciary obligation to
consider the membership's best interests first. Those best interests would be
best served by the resignation of Mr. Truong from the Executive Board.

Mr. Lafferty,

It occurs to me that there may be a fair number of people that share my
situation vis a vis the USCF. I was once a member for many years. I then
left the chess scene for career reasons and did not return until 25 years
later. I always thought to myself, "Well, at least when I retire, I can
return to good old chess as a hobby..." What I discovered when this time came
was appalling! I will not rejoin this organization in its current state.

Unfortunately, this means I cannot support the recall effort as a voting
member, and I cannot petition delegate(s) to do so. This brings me to this
question: as part of the recall effort I would be happy to sign a parallel
petition by non-members that feel that the USCF must clean up the filth and
become a respectable organization. Are there other non-members that feel as I
do?

Cordially,
Rev. J.D. Walker, MsD, U.C.

On a related question, is there any role for scholastic members
(or their parents?) Considering that Mr. Truong's weapon
of choice was obscenity, his unfitness as a board member in an
organization with so many kids is obvious.
