Then what is the right forum?

The XWG and Board meetings routinely go over time and fail to reach
all the items, if the board specific mailing list is not an
appropriate forum to discuss board buisness between meetings then what
is?

The OFA has *ALOT* on it's plate. Making progress on items through the
mailing list is, in my view, a completely acceptable way for the board
to do buisness. I am disappointed by the idea that some people do not
agree.

I already started a new thread :)

I do not accept that criticism.

In fact I think it is out of line and deeply inappropriate for some
parties to privately try and shut down an open and productive
discussion between members of the board.

It is email, if you don't want to read the thread then mute it in your
mail client.

And thanks to Jim for showing better judgement and continuing to
provide very valuable information and perspective..

Thanks,
Jason
