[nfbmi-talk] to members board nfb mi

[joe harcz Comcast]

Dear Christine,

This is a simple relationship between two boards and two non=-profits.

As I heard it and I understand it the NFB MI leased faccilities from OUB 
under three conditions.

One, being a contract, or a budget if you will for just what we'd get from 
OUB in return for our organizational money.

And two being an itemized bill along with a roster of attendees.

In exchange our organization, NFB would give them said money.

To my knoledge and understanding OUB met none of those conditions to the 
board, but NFB did give them money.

Now as per confidentiality of attendees that is not an issue.

Except I mis wrote in I don't want that information for me but rather sent 
to the Board.

I mean if a non-profit like say a Boy Scout group or if a Parent's group 
contracted with OUB they certainly would require and indeed demand said 
information.



The OMA/FOIA information is another issue altogether and being public 
documents are the province and should be of the public.
