In a message dated 9/15/2007 2:01:16 PM Pacific Daylight Time, TISHW writes: The Executive Committee was approved. According to the by-laws the President cannot appoint his Executive Committee. It is to be elected by the Board. In 2006 Lew announced his Executive Committee and was informed at that time also that it could not be done that way. Now, I am floored at all you have written. I do not know if these actions have actually taken place. The Executive Committee is only supposed to act on items of urgency between regular sessions of the Board. That is why I asked. Now we have another answer. Thank you Tish, and you always did respond to any questions for the members. I am being criticized a lot in private for asking the questions. But, this is how we get answers. I can take the heat, and I have no dog in this hunt, (or hunte). I am pleased to get the responses, and it does us all good to have the information rather than the rumors. I only asked questions, and now we all are getting the answers. That is a good thing.
