According to the OBC Rules of Conduct: "The OBCAC shall appoint an OBC member to conduct the membership poll. Twice a year, in January and in July this appointee will send to the active membership an email that must be responded to in order to maintain active membership status. Any member who does not respond to the membership poll will be moved to inactive status, removed from the active OBC Directory and placed on a separate Non-active / Alumni Roster which will also be accessible from the main Directory page." The following members will be removed from the active rolls and placed on Inactive Status if I do not hear from you. Shawn Adkins George Altemose Mark Atnip Doug Chamberlain Yuk Chow Jerry Coker Greg Conway Bob Corvello Al Cummings Bob D'Angelo Jeff Delott Mike Diamanti Terry Dietrick Ryan Distelrath Bob Donaldson Joe Duffy Dave Fallen Bob Farrell Kent Goto Jim Hatch George Hay Earl Kilbourn Richard Kimball Todd Knowles Ray Luurs Mark Macrae Kevin Martens Sean McGowan Kent Montgomery Bob Neill Tim Newcomb Kit Okamuro Chuck Paris Robert Pigeon Richard Robinson John Storman T.J. Valacak George Vrechek Jim Wiehe Mike Wierzbicki Larry Zurawski I know that many of these names have been active of late but these individuals have not respond to the poll. There is the possibility that I may have mis-recorded some of the respondents, but not likely this many. If I messed up simply respond to me again. Please respond by the end of August as I must report to the OBCAC all names of non-responders in next months discussions. I will be posting this message to all email servers so that all have been informed - BE WELL!!! REGARDS ---------------------- MARK -------------- Original message -------------- From: talbot1@comcast.net Hello All, It is time for the bi-annual membership poll. All active members are required to respond to this poll to remain on the active roster. You have 3 choices and you may respond: YES - Please keep me on the active roster of OBC. NO - I do not wish to be active, please place me on the inactive list. NO - I am leaving OBC, please remove me from the group. I will keep the poll open for 2 weeks until August 10, 2008 which should be ample time for all active members to respond. All member who do not respond will be placed on the inactive list by default. It is not necessary for inactive members to respond but if you wish to do so it is always nice to hear from you. Remember, if you wish to move from the inactive list to the active roster then it is as simple as making a request of the OBCAC. All active members please RESPOND to this email - BE WELL!!!
