Thanks for the update.

Like I said: disgraceful.

As a point of information, I'm posting the following verbatim from the
final recommendations of the Future Restructuring Task Force, availble
to all SSA members for review. I'm assuming you read the report?

[Begin Quote] Transition
Recommendation 4 -- Transition from Current Board to New Board
The Society needs a smooth transition from the current Board structure
to the
new structure proposed in this report. During the transition period
all directors should continue to serve until the end
of the terms for which they were elected. The Executive Committee has
stated that those of its members who were elected
prior to February 2007 intend to resign en masse at the end of 2007.
It cannot be stated too strongly that the entire membership of the
FRTF feels this would be a major mistake. There is a strong need for
organizational memory within the
Executive Committee. The Board should follow existing practice when
determining how the next Chairperson and other ExCom members are
chosen. ExCom members should feel free to continue to serve the needs
of the Board and
continue to serve on the Executive Committee. However, any who
disagree with our viewpoint on this issue should follow their hearts
and resign. The bottom line is that the routine departure of a small
minority of members is tolerable, but
the mass resignation of the entire ExCom would be detrimental to the
best interests of the SSA, and is unacceptable.
