<b>Subject: </b>Happy New Year Card<br>
<div><br>
</div>
Friends, comrades, members, Ladies, Gentlemen:<br>
<div><br>
</div>
2015 has been a good year for democracy, in some ways. Let's
drink to that!<br>
<div><br>
</div>
But there's still stuff to do. Like inspect the documents. <br>
<div><br>
</div>
Seems like some of my comrades think it's an insult to the new
board to demand to inspect the documents.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
But why is this considered an insult or some kind of
punishment?<br>
<div><br>
</div>
I mean come on, inspecting documents and using the membership
list is a key right of members. Some of us have been trying to
establish it for years, since back in 2005. And it is finally
within reach. I would like to achieve it before I die.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
And the station hierarchy has resisted in every way possible.
But why? And why would our attempts to gain assess to
documents on February 1 be an effrontery to anybody? <br>
<div><br>
</div>
I say that notion of affronting the board or the new
management is all in our heads. You know: self-censorship. <br>
<div><br>
</div>
And another thing while its on my mind: The one thing that
would show a real change in attitude (of the board) would be
for the board to agree to regular participation in an on-line
discussion with the public, including the critics. A place
like KZYXtalk. What's so hard about that? Continuing behind
the scenes meetings and the "confidential" (secret) board
listserv is waving a red flag in the face of democracy. The
board is not the CIA. Let's drink to that!<br>
<div><br>
</div>
In fact even the good things like committees and PACs and
CABs. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for them. But are
bureaucratic when you consider how few of us are really
involved in the radio station. Why aren't there more open
disuccssions? With the new communications technology, it's
much easier that it used to be to set up on-line and on-air
discussions. Why the hell don't you board members just become
part of the disucssion? As John would say: Why? Why? Why?<br>
<div><br>
</div>
Warm regards, and a happy healthful, communicative year to
all,<br>
<div><br>
