Let's Adopt An Agenda And Then Adjourn.
That seems to be the pattern of events at the December Organizational Meeting.
Maybe it makes sense to some of them, who voted to do it. But most folks might be puzzled by that turn of events.
I was there as an observer, I cannot usually attend meetings during the week since I work nights, but have been able to be at a few since my medical leave for open heart surgery.
So I sat and watched the Circus and commented a couple of times when it was appropriate or the Sub-Committee Chair asked,
The main item of contention was that the proposed agenda had an item that was in fact Improper.
Under Reports by Committees it listed Webmaster
The Webmaster is not nor has it ever been a Committee. What it is I will get to later in this discourse
But first let us look at a complaining vent by one of the attendees the other night
Tonight I attended a meeting where I witnessed the MOST SLEEZY UNDERHANDED ACT I think ever witnessed in a supposed civilized group.
I would say the Gentleman has lived a sheltered life for he certainly has a much different conception of the the MOST SLEEZY UNDERHANDED ACT than I.
Now while not being the MOST sleezy and underhanded act I have ever witnessed I would say THIS ACT could be considered a considerable bit more sleezy and or underhanded than anything I saw at the meeting in question
A member handed out copies of an agenda stating it was the chairs agenda and then called for the approval of it.
A member handed out copies of a corrected agenda with the incorrect and improper listing of the Webmaster as a Committee removed, which had been shown to the Chair while she tried to explain the issue,
Turns out there was some confusion at this time.
Something not generally done at a meeting of this size.
The Chair asked for my input on this issue. While the above statement may be true for small Sub-Committee meetings, this one was very large. In fact it was almost large enough fulfill the requirements of a Quorum for a Full Meeting. That fact and the fact that at the beginning of the Minutes the Secretary included a statement that Robert's Rules of Order was in use, prompted me to respond that it was quite in Order for members of the Sub-Committee to ask for a vote approving the Agenda
Which was done.
It had omitted items, strategically placed to silence some members.
Now here we verge from the Truth and dive off a Cliff of Fabrication,
I suppose it may be Ego Enhancing to think of oneself as a Committee of One, but in this case it is Untrue,
(We will discuss this in tommorrow's post)
The Complaint that the Sub-Committee for Communications had with the Agenda of the Organizational Sub-Committee is due to the FACT that the Full Body adopted a Charter for the Communications Sub-Committee which gives THEM Authority over the Webpage. Therefore any report by the Webmaster to ANYONE shold be a part of a report by the Communications Sub-Committee.
Should that be needed why of course we would call on the cognizant individual ie the Webmaster'
We had no intention of "silencing" him we did object to an Improper and Illegal Power Grab of Authority.
Once discovered she continued to argue that it was the agenda. Her attempt at undermining the meeting failed and then the meeting was adjourned.
Yeah the vote as I recall actually adopted the original and Improper Agenda so as soon as that group got it's way they voted to Adjourn??
Perhaps she should just amend her agenda to say STAY AT HOME AND DON”T BE SUCH A _______
Could that last statement possibly be projection?
