[NewPacifica] plain as the nose on your face (Re: Directors' Rights)



NALINI: "...This is not about the past incidents, but about how the
organization is going to deal with future requests..."

The past is not past.  Who was at the meeting that put forth this
proposal to institutionalize the stonewalling that management used in
the past?  Lonnie Hicks, who was blocking inspections "in the past",
and Dan Siegel, who was doing it just a few weeks ago.  They would love
to be able to say "the PNB told me to do it this way".

NALINI: "Who calls who? Who does what? In what timeframe?"

Duh!  The director who wants to inspect calls the manager of the
office to be inspected, IF he or she CHOOSES to give advance
notification.  The experience at Pacifica has been that advance notice
is used to put records out of reach (by hiding them or, for all we
know, by destroying them).  It also serves to alert enemies of
transparency (such as Bob Lederer and Ray LaForrest) to converge on
the scene in an effort to harass the inspectors.

Who does what?  The director GOES to the office, and says: I want to
look at ______; please show me where you keep it.

In what timeframe?  From whenever the director can get there until the
director has inspected all that he or she wants to inspect.  If it
takes longer than "2 or 3 hours", so be it.

Obviously Hicks, Siegel, Lederer et al. hope to use a recipe from the
past to sabotage future inspections:  three years ago, management
stalled until one of the directors (in NYC for a PNB meeting) had to
return home.

I suppose Nalini understands the Bill of Rights as limiting freedom of
speech to whatever times  and whatever forms are convenient for the
government.
