It's just that we, shall I say, rushed to finish the Constitution and By-Laws and we admit that it still lacks of important articles/sections. But IMHO, it's good to have one basic CBL to start than to have nothing at all. IMHO again, the CBL is very important for an organization because it's the basis of rules, rights, functions, etc. that every member must follow. > Sammy, I guess we know where we stand now... wanna create another User > Group - xPLUG? :D Anyone is encourage to create their own Linux User Group and it's beyond PLUG anymore. The stand of PLUG is still to follow it's original mission, vision and objectives but the current board members and officers are hardly working to formally organize the group not just a mailing list but a true organization that has a body that composed of members and officers. The current officers and board members are spending time, effort, money and ideas to discuss, meet regularly just to obtain a formal organization to which most of the members of the mailing list are still questioning the status of membership.
