The Board's action would have been great to avoid, but we (the Board) did not feel that would have been healthy for the ASF. Our Monday meeting was definitely the longest meeting that I've ever attended (1.5 yrs since I've been a director), and that length was partly due to our discussions about Mr Donald. It was not done on a whim, and it was not done on "perception". > and justice does not take > place behind closed doors. Apache has rules: if rules were broken, why > not make the evidence public? Out of respect for Peter. In my opinion, this is a *very* personal issue, and I *don't* think the public has the right to participate. People's support for Peter is definitely noted and welcome, but "dirty laundry", if you will, is absolutely something to keep out of the public discourse. The best thing to do is to encourage Peter to continue his participation and to work with him in that. The Board has not suspended his right to participate, so that requires our helping hand to encourage him to do so. Cheers, -g -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
