[Businessmtg] Fwd: Ongoing discussions -

[Anne OHara]

Thank you Sandie, I am in favor of moving forward and releasing the past. I'd like to extend the meeting into August. However, I don't know if others feel ready to submit resumes.

If we start a new meeting 8/1 that info will need to be sent to the recovery meeting so that everyone has the agenda and has an opportunity to participate.   

I think all members past and present have shared their experiences. I believe the conflict is there and is spilling into the bus meeting. I believe an inventory discussion should be had by the Steering Committee first, separate from this meeting. 

Just my thoughts.  Thanks for shouldering so much during this time of conflict. Your service is appreciated!
