Directors' reports

[Jim Webster]

However I do not accept Jim's implied suggestion that it is necessary to have a question poised at the Council meeting in order to have the constitution followed.

I did not imply such a thing.

I simply said that if there is a pressing need for a question to be raised to the directors, and a council meeting is impending, an alternative solution is available which is formally answered and recorded in minutes.

Derek quite rightly points out that not everybody reads minutes of proceedings, and the same is true of the forum.

There may well be the case for creating a place on the website (but NOT the forum) for formal questions raised and when responded to.

Not necessarily the actual question (but I don't see why not), more a log showing:-
* question raised, when and by whom,
* date passed to director,
* expected date of response and by which director,
* date item closed

This may well bring an openness that some people desire.
