no soup for you

any changes made to make the programs more palatable were not in effect when you took those classes

but since your education was so outstanding I'm sure you could have passed them all on the first attempt ... it must be that you have just not gotten around to taking them

How many signatures do you have so far?

Zero. I've been contacted by a number of people that are interested in signing. We're waiting on a reply from the CAS concerning the form of the petition, etc.

Don't hold your breath. The Board was presented with a petition signed by a couple of hundred Fellows when Mutual Recognition came up. While they agreed to consider it they also refused to minute it. In short, they really don't care what you think. By the time it's gotten to this point, it's too late.

That was different. In 2010 the constitution was amended to allow for member initiated amendments to the constitution. That's what we're going to do. It will be in the minutes and can only be stopped by 2/3 of the board.

The members got to vote on it. The members were duped by misleading statements, but they got to vote on it.

Incorrect. I found out about it through the weekly email list, when it was the top or second item.
