I hate to be a bit of a nag, but were we all supposed to receive an
invitation to the blog? If so, I haven't received one.

Al,
There is always someone who will not be pleased with it, no matter what is
done.
I had a choice between having a few people who did not want to use the
blog to sort out some bylaws, and more than a few people who would
complain about the "spam" mail they were receiving from this email list.
The blog is a wonderful way to allow commenting on some very complex
questions, and it can be quickly organized into a final draft for voting
purposes.
I've removed your invitation to the blog. Should you change your mind in
the future about joining let me know and I will re-invite you.
If you want to be sent the information on the policy and bylaws that was
originally posted on the blog, I'll be happy to send it, just let me know.
Janice
