[Kzyxtalk] any ideas for feedback ?

[doug mckenty]

Where did this come from?  I looked around the KZYX web site and did not
see this, nor did I find the agenda for Monday's meeting BTW.

Programs and programmers are supposed to come under yearly review according
to the current Station Handbook.  This is standard operating procedure at
most community radio stations and is not meant to be Orwellian, just a way
to increase production value.

One of the major aspects I really liked about the PAC was that it gave
transparency to this process in order to ensure objectivity.
