The e-mail made public by Frosty contains some serious allegations, my only suggestion is they should be quickly put to bed. I am happy to accept what is reported is indeed wrong, Yoey has attempted to do so. Had those allegations been correct it could have posed serious ramifications for the present committee or sub committee.
I am very familiar with committee work, there are due processes that must be followed, this is standard committee procedure. The e-mail implies this has not been the case, and I am sure you have heard that when people throw mud, regardless of an innocent outcome, some sticks.
Unless the part of the meeting discussing these changes was held 'in camera' meaning nothing can be made public or discussed outside of committee, there would be no finer way of killing any controversy faster than to make public the minute regarding the other proposals were tabled - also the results of the survey.
This is what a minute book is for, it is signed as a true and accurate record of a meeting. The person who left early would be forced to withdraw his allegations of impropriety, and the sub committee will start off with a clean sheet. A win/win situation all round.
The most important post on this thread was made by Phill: nothing else should be said!!! Unfortunately the e-mail was then made public.
I ask you to consider: if the e-mail was sent as a private message it is wrong to make it public. If the e-mail was sent as an approach to the exec of the NZACA, it should have been kept under wraps until after the content had been discussed by those concerned. It would be tabled as incoming correspondence and acted on accordingly.
There is a right way and a wrong way, I leave it to you to decide which is which.
