Dear colleagues:
I hope all is well with you. I have enclosed below the draft
minutes of the Executive Committee meeting that took place last night
(Monday, Jan. 28). Please let me know whether you have any proposed
changes.
I have also enclosed below the language of the Policy Manual
concerning approval of EC meeting minutes. Section 1.02.06 includes the
following statement: Absent objection from an Executive Committee
member who attended the meeting, the minutes shall be deemed to be
approved 14 days after their distribution.
Thus, if no such objection is raised as of 3:25 p.m. EST on Tuesday,
Feb. 12, the draft minutes will become the official minutes of the meeting.
As always, thanks for your work for liberty. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments regarding
this matter.
Take care,
Jim
