Dear Ralph
When I wrote ‘you’ I was referring in a collective sense i.e. the Council.
Show me one document that has been circulated to the membership/profession
or a journal article or editorial that details the proposed changes that
Council was considering, so that the profession could deliberate for
themselves. I certainly cannot recall any. Can you?
At the risk of being repetitive, it is not the argument that is important;
it is the process by which that argument became reality. You state your
primary goal is unity. I fear your inability to concede this simple point
may engender the opposite of your aim.
The ability for members to use the mechanisms of an AGM is worthless. The
next AGM is in May 2005, nine months away. It would be near impossible to
re-establish membership conditions, even though that was the majority
view. At the end of the day the Council had a debate and agreed a policy
in isolation and without informing the membership or the wider profession,
on a issue of paramount importance to our future. I’m terribly sorry if
you find this strident, but I think your [collectively] actions were
shameful.
Yours sincerely
Mark Russell
