[Ohio-talk] calls

[Barbara Pierce]

Richard, I don’t know what you are doing putting this file on the list. This is an appointed committee set of meeting calls. These are not intended to be open to all the membership. There is no reason why they can’t hear what is said, but it will just gum up the call to have lots more people than the intended ones on any call. I would ask Ohio members not to call in unless Richard has asked you to take his place on a call.

Thanks,
Barbara
