Good point. ________________________________ From: FOR THE MINORITIES AND COMMUNICATION DIV. OF AEJMC To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wed Jun 09 10:55:38 2010 Subject: Re: Is there another approach??? Maybe, we should also conduct an informal poll of MAC and CSM members to determine where many stand on the resolution and contacting Carol. While there has been rigorous discussion about the press release--we have certainly not heard from a majority of the members. I don't want us to be guilty of speaking for the membership without input from a majority of the members.

I believe the process should be for the head of CSM or MAC to contact Carol only to tell her our opposition to her actions, our belief that it is inappropriate for her to use her position as president of AEJMC as a bully pulpit, etc--Whoever speaks to her should alert her that a resolution WILL be drafted by members of these two organizations. I don't see that it is one or the other. As Ali has said, Carol is very bright. There is no chance that she didn't know what she was doing nor did she do it in isolation--there is her advisory council-- I am sure that she was in consultation with it.
