Dear ras-ers,

I took some time last week to send a response on the Future
Restructuring Task Force final report and appendices to the task force
members and a couple of the folks on the executive committee.

I thought that the report was realistic and thoughtful and reflected a
lot of work. I'm satisfied with the work and the recommendations. (I
do believe that it should have explicitly addressed the governance
authority of the Board over the executive director; and felt that the
appendix on SSA mag was probably more prescriptive than necessary.)

It was a surprise to get a reply from one of the 8 FRTF members saying
that the task force had had ZERO (please excuse the shout) responses
from anyone else in SSA. It is not like us to be silent.

I am curious. Does this silence mean that:
A. SSA-ers are uniformly pleased with the wise and thoughtful
recommendations of the task force;
B, No one cares;
C. SSA-ers are too busy finishing out the season to read;
D. Altitude hypoxia has created a universal reading dyslexia amongst
soaring pilots.

Oh, wait; if you are reading this and comprehending it, D must be
false...

Perhaps it's a wait-and-see attitude. The SSA was supposed to have been
fixed when Sanderson was fired, and it just got worse, didn't it?

Personally, I'm waiting to see if the promise by all the officers and
Executive Committee members to resign by 1 January 2008 is fulfilled. If
even one decides that the SSA needs their "special experience in this
difficult time" and goes back on their word, then it's just going to be the
"same ole, same ole."
