Evan, if you can't figure out how to do it, I will be happy to help you to post it if you want it posted, particularly since I want to then be able to post all the reasons why I disagree with you. The two main ones: 1 - It would be a complete and profound conflict of interest for the members of the Executive Committee to be the decision-makers in whether the charges against THEM should be sent forward. Identical to putting the inmates in charge of the asylum or the fox in charge of the hen-house. While the By-laws do not have a provision for such a scenario and normally charges DO go through the Executive Committee, the law takes priority over the By-laws. The law makes it quite clear that directors cannot act in situations where the have a direct and conplete conflict of interest, and being the sole decision-makers as to whether or not to kill the charges against them is as direct a conflict of interest as I could imagine. 2 - These are the very same people who would not even let me participate in the discussion, let alone the voting, on my own "charges" - they actually disconnected me from the call. It would be an obvious injustice for them to utilize the opposite procedure when the charges are against THEMSELVES. Margy The refusal of the Defendants to address this issue further demonstrating their indifference to their fiduciary duty of care and loyalty to the GSDCA, inasmuch as it is a general principle of law that the business judgment rule does not apply when director has conflict of interest, or when fraudulent, illegal or reckless decisions are made. In fact, the correct standard when there is a possibility of conflict of interest is one of "enhanced scrutiny", which would clearly preclude any possible good faith assertion that the By-laws provision designating the Executive Committee to pass on charges against itself. -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ELG440@xxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2007 8:09 PM To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Please have my permission I don't remember any letter sent to me by the board. If you mean the letter I sent to the board, I thought I wrote in it, that it was open to be sent to anyone. I meant to do that if I didn't and if anyone wants to publish it, they certainly have my permission. If I knew how to do it, I would even put it on the List. But it was dictated and typed, and so it isn't in my computer. It was my opinion as an attorney of how to handle the pending charges that have been filed against Lew, Gary, Carmen, Kris, Bill and Ken. If anyone is that interested, I will try to post it, or if any board members, (or spouse of a board member) wants to post it, please do so.
