[Cabs] Report From Conference Call

[Nimer Jaber]

  Hello,

No doubt many would disagree with my opinion, and some may believe that 
I am being too harsh. However, if a secretary can't form notes that are 
spelled correctly, have proper grammar, and takes half of the conference 
call to discuss notes which are still messed up, then I don't put much 
faith in the secretary elected to represent the Colorado Students. Are 
there no requirements other than being a student to fulfill the role of 
secretary, or any position for that matter? I should hope that my 
treasurer can count and keep track of funds, my secretary  can take 
notes that, while brief, are understandable, and my president can return 
emails when I send them out. So far, I have emailed a request to the 
president regarding the requirements for board positions. I want to know 
what is required to be a secretary or a treasurer of CABS. Also, if 
there was any effort whatsoever put into the website, this process would 
be transparent and no questions would need to be asked. Now, maybe some 
will see this email as some guy writing an email to ramble about things, 
however, I wave offered to work on the site, I have offered to help out 
with many other things, in fact. Many of these such things keep on 
getting delayed. For example, while I brought issues about the website 
up two months ago, I was told at the last meeting that a meeting of the 
tech committee wouldn't take place until next month. I was also told 
over a week ago at the last conference call that a list of committee 
members (a full list) would be sent out to this list, and unless 
something is going on with my email, I have not received such a list.

My hope with taking up bandwidth in posting this message is to see 
change, and I hope that our leadership will rise up and answer the call 
with transparency. If guidelines are not set, I hope they _will _be set. 
Abel, this message was in no way intended to hurt your feelings, and I 
am sure that there are many other positions that you would be better 
suited to on the CABS board. However, the secretary ought to be able to 
speak clearly, read and write minutes, and post them to a forum such as 
this list in a timely manner hopefully to be determined by CABS. I know 
we are all busy, but this shouldn't be an excuse for a lack of 
transparency. Also, if anyone got their feelings hurt and wishes to 
discuss it with me, please email me privately at nimerjaber1 at gmail.com 
and I will do my best to alleviate your concerns.

Thank you for your time in reading this message, and I look forward to 
any responses.
