Jack, you had a hearing.  I called it myself.  There was no need for you to be
present to explain your actions because your actions were made in public and
you had made your intentions very clear.  While your message post was
certainly the "straw that broke the camel's back", it was not the reason for
your dismissal.

        You discussed FIG financial statements in public
                (i.e. issued a press release concerning them)

        You were appointed to encourage new chapters.
                No new chapters were added.

I seem to remember Jack, that you claimed FIG would be out of money before the
year was out.  Well we are still here and we have not had to file for
bankruptcy protection.

FIG is not "responsible" for the chapters, but we will do anything within our
powers to help the get started and survive.

Have I or any other Director "complained" about low membership or a lack of
interest?  Rather, I think our remaining members are very enthusiastic about
FIG.  There are a disgruntled few who think that FIG should do more, but I've
usually found their expectations to be unrealistic.  We do what we can, given
the volunteer nature of this organization.  If that is not enough, then we can
not stop you from leaving any more than we can stop you from trying to help.
