Advisory Committee (Allin,Fred, and Alfredo): Thank you for responding to my inquiry. I think you have established a good practice for handling such concerns as may arise. I do think that the list should be informed of your activities, even when the query goes directly to the Committee. I understand, however, that sometimes you would need to be circumspect in your reporting. On one point regarding the Committee, I am unclear. Will the Committee always be apprised of suggestions for new listmembers and permitted to offer its reaction before an addition takes place (e.g., the two or three additions which have taken place since the Committee's formation)? Such a practice would be preferable to 'ad hoc' advice determining membership.

Jerry sent the >email with the title "Message for Alan Freeman" to that other subscriber >on March 15. Jerry has every reason to believe that this other listmember >did as he had agreed to do and had therefore forwarded Jerry's message to >Alan. >The Advisory Committee therefore determines that this is a moot question >since what Paul Z asked for had been -- without Paul's knowledge -- done >by Jerry ten days before Paul's request to the committee. >The Advisory Committee and Jerry also want the entire list to know that >all of those who unsubscribed since March 9 were informed individually >and in writing on March 20 that they are welcome back on OPE-L. >We thank Paul Z for his concern. We ask of listmembers that, in the >future, all requests for action by the Advisory Committee be addressed >directly to committee members rather than to the list. >-<Attachment #1, untitled-2 (3344 bytes), text/html base64>-
