*shakes head*

Me neither. Personally I think it would have been better that if the
board was displeased with the result of the exploratory body it itself
put in motion, it should have simply entirely discarded its suggestions
and instituted a completely different kind of body (one of its own
liking), rather than punting the ball back into the community to work
at, without any bond with the Board of Trustees whatsoever. To me that
is the action of a fearful, inward turning Board. That said, if some
one wants my support in any shape or form for a council that has to
*earn* its standing by its own actions, I am at their service.
