If some board members voted the way they they did because they felt the club and their self personally were threatened, Jim then they voted under duress and the vote should be redone after they are properly informed as to our insurance coverage and our legal protection. All three Lawyers( the two on the board) and Even think we have nothing to fear from a lawsuit. Dan Smith says that board members are covered personally. They should vote again and stand for this club and more importantly all dogs.

In a message dated 2/5/07 12:30:47 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, RFWFORGSD@xxxxxxx<mailto:RFWFORGSD@xxxxxxx> writes: Because of the influence of this false information and because the Hunte vote was not taken in accordance with our Bylaws and Roberts Ruiles, I believe that the Board should retake the vote strictly in accordance with our Bylaws and Roberts Rules, and considering the legal information that Margy has presented. I don't know about "retake" but this board has in the past, voted to overturn a decision made in the past. That includes the Conditional Class, the limit on Selects, and when I was on the board, the weighted ballot. The weighted ballot was passed on two different votes, as required. Then Ralph Roberts aske d at a third meeting, that it be voted on again, and it was defeated. Then later another board voted to institute it, again. Our board does have the right to vote on an issue previously decided, and change the outcome. This board, either in Executive Session, or what seems more in keeping with our practices, at the next meeting vote again on this membership. By then there should be plenty of time to consider what was done, what information was proper, and what might have been a misunderstanding. It will be up to a board member to call for a new vote. That seems the easiest way to handle it, but pending that, I know this board is working to find solutions to a difficult problem. I continue to have faith in our board members, all of them.
