So (see the post below) even though the "Executive session" is not
allowed by the By-Laws then call one anyway and everyone will probably agree
so go ahead with an "Executive Session" that is in admitted violation of the
By-Laws. Wow - that is the very essence of Pacifica. (Although the person
who wrote the post below seems very honest and sincere in her suggestions to
do this.)
Jim "By-Laws or laws of any type or listeners rights of any type - NO
WAY that would not be Pacifica." D.
