Rocky, I'm the current Board Alternate and one who is also involved with 
AMSAT in a few other "volunteer" capacities.

While I could take issue with you on several statements you've made, 
that would not help to bring the needed conclusion to the dialog you've 
raised. Also, I don't have a background that could determine if you 
indeed have some legitimate concerns.

It appears, to me anyway, that you feel there is a lack of 
"transparency" at AMSAT through what you perceive as a possible lack of 
proper reporting procedures, namely the keeping and dissemination of the 
minutes of various AMSAT activities. Perhaps we can resolve this issue 
as follows...

At the upcoming October Board meeting, I will propose that a motion be 
entered requesting the Board seek legal counsel to determine the proper 
reporting requirements and procedures needed to satisfy the conditions 
of its bylaws and articles of incorporation and report the findings back 
to the membership.

Further, to save the added cost burden to AMSAT for this legal finding, 
I would hope that a "legally qualified" member can provide these 
services "pro bono."

I do hope that is the objective you seek. If not, then I have missed the 
point of your posts.
