But everything is fine and well in Aopa though isn't it Kris?

No trouble at AOPA from what I have heard. Still doing good work and moving forward....
So, perhaps you can answer the questions if I may precis them.

Is there a significant, intense disagreement amongst part of the board where legal action has been threatened and a series of corruscating e-mails have made all known readers extremly uncomfortable?

Are the members able to discuss this development on the site they fund with their dollars?

Are the same members able to discuss - on their own site - the Hansard report regarding security issues and membership numbers?

Are they able to discuss the performance of their elected front man during questioning on any Aopa controlled site or magazine?

Are the officers of the organisation openly discussing with their membership the difference in constant, tabloidesque, combative, anti Casa language and accepting money to finance the roadshows? Is there an venue open to members to get prompt replies as to the breakdown of costs and payments for these roadshows?


So Kris, other than those petty, nay, minor points you seemed to pretty well answer all the substantive points raised. Well done - an absolute credit to accountability and fine governance.

Regards,
Rob

PS We've honestly lost count of the number of unions we done this to for their members. You can also check that we did the same for the members of the PFA (the UK's version of the EAA) when their execs decided a bulletin board gave far too much in the way of questioning and debate.

PPS Sorry if explaining what the PFA is seems patronising but we can't take chances if Ron is reading about anything outside Oz.

PPPS Just to remind you that as soon as normal checks and balances for a modern go getting, IT aware organisation are confirmed this thread can go the way of the dodo, dotar, dotat, dodamus etc
