You're painfully correct.
The AUGI w...Hi Jay,<br /><br />You're painfully correct.<br /><br />The AUGI website has historically been the group's most important asset, its home, the glue that holds it together and makes it both free and International.<br /><br />Recall elections such as the one being proposed can foster a Renaissance in the group that is long overdue.<br /><br />I've heard multiple complaints about the "Closed" nature of the current election process, which basically only allows for a "ratification" of new "election-committee-approved" OR current board members wishing to serve another term.<br /><br />Things happen for a reason. Indeed, the group clearly needs a blood transfusion so it can regain strength.<br /><br />The type of meeting and special election that Phil Read calls for is a contingency allowed by AUGI's bylaws and a standard provision of Robert's Rules of Order. There has never been a better time, and hopefully never again, for such an extreme motion.<br /> <br />Attending the annual meeting for the last three years has been a painful, sad experience for me. It keeps shrinking each year. Have you noticed it, too?<br /><br />Let's do what's necessary and help AUGI regain strength. With all our united help and cooperation, putting ego and selfish agendas aside, I believe the best for AUGI, a great community of Autodesk software users and designers, is yet to come. <br /><br />Warm regards from Los Angeles,<br /><br />Emmanuel Garcia<br />Past AUGI President 2000<br />Past AUGI Board Member 1996-2000Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
