Dear everyone

Unfortunately Rowena and I have been forced to make a choice. People intending
to Charter and working towards it are saying (on the list and in personal emails
to me) that they are unhappy to remain on the list if Emilce Rees remain on it.
Therefore, as Emilce has stated she is definitely not working towards
Chartering, and has continually voiced her objections to the process, we have
reluctantly taken the decision to remove her from the list, in order that it can
continue to provide support and a positive environment to those for whom it was
set up.
I hope you don't feel this is heavy-handed. As a look at the list archives will
easily demonstrate I am not against vigorous discussion! ;-) But this
particular situation has not improved (after many months) and it must end. The
basic premise of why we are here on the list has to be borne in mind, and I am
afraid that when it comes down to it, we'd rather lose Emilce's contribution
than that of several active Charter candidates.
Emilce's email address is in the archives, for any of you who wish to continue
discussions directly with her. She may even set up her own email discussion
list....
