[Kzyxtalk] "pretty solid" advice

[smmail]

Scott Peterson. Ellen Saxe was making a regular Board report of CAB 
activities. Her comments were not her, or the CAB's recommendations, 
they were just a report of what listeners said at a CAB meeting. 
Providing listener input to the Board is one of the functions of the CAB 
and I think that Ellen takes her duties seriously. Listeners comments 
were not nasty or nice, they were just opinions.

E-mail is the way than many organizations do business. Would you object 
if they exchanged paper mail or phoned each other when working on 
something? Boards of Directors everywhere have closed face-to-face 
meetings when discussing employee matters. This is widely considered to 
be the ethical thing to do.

How do I feel about e-mail business and closed meetings? I pretty much 
don't care because I and the great majority of other members of KZYX 
like the product of the station. What horrible, nefarious conspiracy do 
you think is being cooked up in your imagined secret meetings of this 
very small, non-profit organization run primarily by enthusiastic 
volunteers?

The meeting minutes haven't been approved yet. Why don't you just call 
the business number at the station and politely ask about them. SM
