Dear all, Al's approach seems the most pragmatic to me in terms of the current situation. He says, "...we find ourselves in a bind. We will not be able to run an election as we did in the past. If we want to have an election at all, we will have to do what we were told to do. In fact, there is no cart ...

Dear all, I've just seen that two days ago Tara did post the Exec. Bd. memo that describes the actions taken in the special Council meeting of the other day. Clearly, I wasn't paying as close attention as I should. That said, I see from the document that a "conversation" with the Round Table Coordinating ...

Dear SRRT members, First, I must apologize for inadvertently posting to the SRRT Connect email comments not intended for public distribution. That said, here, now, are my reactions to the step the ALA Exec. Board and Council have taken to restrict decision-making and governance processes for ...

Dear all, ALA is losing it all to "efficiency"! Just try navigating the new "streamlined" website. _No_ navigational links at the top. _No_ "learn more" link or any other link under "Offices" to the Exec Board. And even finding "Offices" takes a hunt. So, the first thing on the ALA website is: "Frequently ...

Dear Tara, "Haha"? Interesting to know you found the "dressing down" of Mark Rosenzweig so amusing. While I always appreciate learning new things, parliamentary procedure is, in fact, something I do know a bit about. I even happen to know enough about it to recognize when it is being used to ...

Dear Al and all, Thanks so much, Al, for bringing this to my attention. I wholeheartedly agree with you that SRRT and ALA should certainly act to support protesters' rights and that failing to do so counts against the record this interpretation eloquently proclaims. Did the interpretations pass yesterday? ...
