I will post it to this list, the results of the poll.  I do not think  
anyone wants to wait until the Members Meeting in Florida to vote.  I was  
hoping that this would have been settled before then.

I am  glad to hear that the list won't be published on the internet.  I  
agree
with you that member's privacy would be at risk.  I do hope  though that a
representative from the board would contact all members to  inform all the
membership of the pending vote.

Dixie,

This is exactly why we have not  given a poll until we have the most current
up to date information. We have  discussed privacy issues on a listserv
before and agree that no list will  be published on here or on the website.
Now, I do not know the answer to  this outside of board members, but perhaps
a list of names might be  available privately off-list. I am positive it
could not contain anything  other than names without express permission from
the individual but I am  not sure if we have the right to provide names.

I just do not want  someone coming back and accusing us of telling people
they are a member.  Board members have a right to this information but they
do not have the  right to share it.

Cindy
