ASCI meetings

Cynthia,
Your response to my genral post to ASCI members surprisingly seems to indicate that as the Director of ASCI you have no real interest or desire in seeing ASCI organize regular gatherings of its members, and for it to expand its reach and offerings in this way. You say you organized members meetings for 10-years, but what happened, why are there no more meetings? Are you really against seeing regular meetings because you do not have the staff to do the work, or is it also because you are not capable or personally willing to oversee their development?
I am of the opinion that if regular meetings were held, more people would become interested in joining ASCI, and it would become a much more vital, dynamic organization, offering more than just a website, newsletter and occasional annual events for the $40 annual membership fee. The likely increase in membership income could help pay for staff.
Yet you do say you would like to help facilitate meetings again. If that is so, I suggest you put out the idea to all the members as I have done, to see if others current members besides you might be interested in working or volunteering to make this happen.
I am put off by your suggestion that if I want to see ASCI member gatherings happen, I start another mirror group that is completely and totally independent of ASCI. Why recreate the wheel, and create separation?
Your concern that I be sure that ASCI is in no way legally responsible for the content or the activities of such a splinter group seems to me to be odd, paranoid, and counter productive. What are you afraid of?
