expect at least an acknowledgement  of a receipt of
message. Is this unreasonable? I am trying to

I do not understand this message. What did I do to deserve it? Have I been  
lax in courtesy? Clarence Mahan
Clarence, at the fall Board meeting, Bob Pries was voted in as a Board member 
to replace Bill Mull, so he is probably trying to find out what the protocol 
is. I don't think he directed anything to you or anyone else. At least I'm not 
aware of anything or any other messages. 

Bob, we use [AISdiscuss] to bring forth any motions or other points of 
discussion between board meetings. Generally, it's good to have everyone respond, 
but this is not always the case. Sometimes the outcome of a motion is clear 
before everyone responds, and the discussion ceases.

In addition, when discussing AIS business and emailing takes place between 
more than two people, copies are sent to our President Jeanne Plank in order to 
keep her informed.

Bob, you were a great addition to our meeting, and I know you will serve well 
and conscientiously.  Welcome to the Board!

Betty Roberts, Policy Chair
