NJ: I realize this. My question wasn't about getting rid of a member, 
but what, if any, are the requirements to fulfill different roles on the 
board, such as being a secretary. If there are requirements, are there 
safeguards in place to insure those requirements are met?

NJ: I have heard this before, but again, I believe there needs to be 
some oversight. Committees haven't been able to meet before now anyway 
because they don't know who their members are, or how to get in contact 
with them. Furthermore, some committee heads don't seem to respond to 
emails, therefore making the facilitation of communication difficult.

>>  Hello,

>> No doubt many would disagree with my opinion, and some may believe

>> 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
