[nabs-l] GPS Solutions

[Chris Nusbaum]

I agree, Arielle. I didn't know the agenda was up there until I checked the
NFB Web site to read what was going on (as I sometimes do, just to get a
quick update on NFB news) and saw a link to the agenda.

Just to be fair to Joshua, Dave Andrews usually does email out the agenda
every year. So Joshua was correct when he said he was expecting to get an
email with it. However, Dave usually doesn't send it out until the first
week of June. As others have pointed out, you can get it before Dave sends
it out by going to the NFB website. However, I didn't know that it was up
yet, either, until Karen mentioned it this morning. I've been around the NFB
a long time, and in fact used to be your president, and I listen to the
presidential releases, but I didn't know exactly when the agenda goes up on
the website. So let's not jump on one of our fellow listers or start talking
about "inappropriate behavior" just because he made an honest mistake.
