Jim, I thank you for your questions.
With regard to the lateness of minutes and meetings, while I accept that this has been a problem for many years, it should be noted that this has been less of a problem in the current administration.
You are also aware that two of the Exec have had serious health issues which has not helped the situation
That last sentence seems to answer 5 or 6 of your questions.
Can I also point out that we are having the required meetings, though the recommended time scale may not have been met. Is this really a significant deterioration from before my time in office?
Modern technology allows for many informal meetings between those involved in sub-sections of the full committee. As long as those outcomes are reported at formal meetings this seems a much better way of conducting CS business.
Obviously, the membership needs to be informed but I feel quite confident that they prefer to know that the work is on-going rather than being delayed to hold a meeting.
