Theos-Talk Archives (May 1996 Message tl01460)

 Hi:

 Here is an update on the election voting tally. The following
 letter was received by me and it was mailed in response to my
 two FAX messages of May 16, 1996. The response was mailed to me
 from Wheaton, IL by Snail mail and so it took days to reach me.

 In the very early hours of today, I FAXED a four page detailed
 response to John Algeo, explaining that (1) I do not want any
 personal courtesy and (2) under the current statutes of IL, I as
 a member in good standing, have full access to the voting tally
 *now* and (3) I would not agree to any restriction or condition
 as to the use or distribution of the information as such
 conditions or restrictions are unnecessary because the IL
 statutes allow members in good standing to access any and all
 records for any purpose. The detailed letter is in a separate
 post.

 As of this writing, I am yet to receive receive a response from
 John Algeo.

 Dear Mr. Ramadoss:

     Our bylaws state that "the results of the election shall be
 certified by the National President and the National Secretary,
 whose certificate shall be published in the next issue of the
 official members' magazine."  We are in the process of doing
 that, and the certification will so appear. I know of no other
 requirement that is "time-sensitive" with respect to the
 reporting of the results.

     In view of the bylaw requirement for publishing the results
 of the election, I think it inappropriate to publish those
 results in other ways before they appear in the official
 members' magazine. If you are personally curious about the
 results for some particular post, we will give you that
 information as a matter of personal courtesy, under the
 condition that you do not publish it electronically or in any
 other way until the official notice has appeared.

 			Sincerely yours,


 			John Algeo
 			National President
