Ron is correct.

It was at Channing's insistence that the USCF Purchase "Internet
Insurance". In 2006, I made a motion that the Internet insurance be
canceled. My motion lost. It is true that a majority voted for it, but
that was because Channing was extremely insistent on it.

It was also Channing's idea to hold the "Retreat" to Florida. At the
time it was first announced, I assumed that Channing was going to pay
for it because he had just gotten elected on the basis of being a very
wealthy man. No vote was taken and I am sure that the board would
never have voted for this.

I and many other USCF members were stunned and shocked when we learned
that the USCF had to pay for it.

At the last Executive Board meeting, Bill Goichberg proposed that the
Internet Insurance be canceled. All board members were in favor of
this, except for Channing who said that he would resign from the board
if the Internet Insurance were canceled. The other board members have
been treading lightly about this threat or promise. We are waiting to
see what will happen next.

Since when? I have been complaining about this "Internet Insurance"
from day one. In the first place, I did not think there was any such
thing as Internet Insurance. I repeatedly demand that Bill Hall tell
us what the Internet Insurance covered. He refused to answer the
question and the rest of the board would not back me up on this.

All of the things that Ron Suarez is complaining about, I complained
about too, at the time they were occurring. The reason you do not know
that is most of my complaints were deleted from the USCF Forum as
"violations of the AUG".
