Unfortuately, it appears both Joanna Lane and Judith Oppenheimer have chosen to resign over what I firmly believe is still a non-issue at this time. 

I'm sure all of us wish they hadn't chosen to resign precipitously but
their decisions are perhaps understandable in the light of their personal fears of frivolous but costly litigation.

Since they *have* resigned, it is of the utmost importance that the Interim Panel members departing be replaced as soon as possible. Although I have personal reservations about the process of automatically appointing those ranked as "honourable mentions" in the Panel Election, that seems to be the will of the group and I hope that the Panel will contact the people in question individually rather than trust they are going to pick it up informally from this list.

I have two requests in addition:

1) Could we please devote our attention for the next little while to coming up with a set of Interim Bylaws so all members can know what the correct processes are?

2) Would any women in the "silent majority" please make their presence known. We need an immediate injection of practicality here and, besides, I'm starting to feel rather lonely...

Regards,

Judyth
