My idea with this list was to put together an open forum where members and other interested parties can discuss the coordination process and management issues of the FRC. Currently we only have this opportunity to discuss issues two to three times a year at members meetings. In other organizations I've been a member of, having open discussion has enabled better corporate governance and development of new initiatives. Secrecy is bad for an organization such as the FRC, and it's been standard operating procedure for years. I've experienced quite a few problems with the FRC here in Tampa Bay and have heard from others who have experienced the same problems around the state. Even if you have never experienced an issue with the FRC, as a FRC member it should be shocking that the directors are handling issues so poorly. I've compiled my issues thus far at the link below. http://bryanfields.net/FRC-info/FRC%20Issues.pdf My initial posting had an introduction of how this list came to be formed. http://lists.keekles.org/pipermail/frc-info/2016-October/000001.html As I'm not one to make allegations such as this lightly, I am always open to discuss; so long as we can keep it from dissolving into ad-hominem attacks. I don't believe in censorship and people are free to post their own comments without fear of removal. 73's -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
