[MA-RPC] RPC- Sat. Feb. 12-Guests

[Walt Daniels]

Ron and I and others in NYNJTC have always dealt with meetings that are open
to all. In principal only supervisors and trail chairs can vote, but almost
nothing every gets to a stage where we need a vote. After discussing for a
while the consensus is almost always clear. This is in an organization where
the Trails Council has real power delegated by the Board and only a few well
prescribed issues have to go to the Board for approval. We typically have 30
or so out of 80 possible people at the bimonthly meetings. A prime purpose
of the meetings is communication and keeping everyone on the same page. ATC
historically has been very poor at communications. That in fact is why I set
up this forum and the web pages - to improve the communications.
 
In case you haven't guessed it, I am not happy with the tight control that
ATC is trying to maintain. It is a sure way to turn off volunteers when they
feel they are not in control.

Ron, If they are just there to observe, and perhaps give us some insight
into where ATC is heading fine, but I don't think they should set the agenda
for us. Al Britton, BATONA

My thought is that they are more than welcome to attend as observers. I
don't think we have time to put them on the program per se, as our agenda is
already fairly tight. However, ATC and NPS spent a lot of time and money on
the reorganization plan, and I for one don't mind if they watch the
struggles of our group carving out the future of ATC...

Dear Committee Members:
There will be fifteen members, and Karen, Michelle and myself attending the
Feb 12th meeting.
Representatives from Harpers Ferry staff and ATPO staff (National Park
Service) may be interested in attending.
Do you have any thoughts to share?
Thyra
