I totally agree with Laurence Charles Professor Charles Oppenheim ________________________________ From: "Bebbington, Laurence W" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, 28 June 2013, 10:12 Subject: Re: Rebranding As a CILIP member (for now anyway) I support Tom Roper’s view that he should be given equal access to put his case. When I saw the Newsletter presenting a one-sided view I think it was shameful, unprofessional and procedurally suspect. Tom should be given the same space to put his case, and it should be distributed directly in the same way. Anything else is disgraceful. Laurence Laurence W.

I asked two days ago that CILIP, having sent an e-mail to all (or most, the system doesn't seem to reach everyone) members calling on them to defeat the motion to allow me equal access to put the case for the motion. So far, silence. Can I urge everyone to either attend the General Meeting, or to register a proxy vote?
