That surely would have to be a decision of the current paid up members which brings the matter back to that of the quorum, does it not? Or were you suggesting that with a bank account containing money that belongs to the Association, that others who are not members of it, wind it up and dispose of the money. Was it the constitution, "which has proven to have effectively crippled it and caused it to drift into the state that it is now in?", or was it those administering the constitution, in taking the decision to do away with hundreds of members, effectively leaving the Association in a position where it might be thought by some that it can no longer exercise control over its own monies. I keep coming back to the question of the money, as it seems to me that someone has isolated it, from the members and former members, and we as yet have no statement of how much there is, or should be! I am afraid that this brings us back to the question of who it was that decided to remove the members from the Association,and leave it and its bank account and its contents in place. And what was the intention of that action? -- John Seago GNU/Linux Registered User No. #219566 http://counter.li.org/ _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
