[rfu-membership] Re: Fwd: [Rfu-station] Upcoming Code Change

[Tom Garza]

Lavana, Andrew, all . . .

I am aware that the intention of the two-person programming group is 
to promote a sense of community, ensure regularity etc., and given 
our shows' somewhat atypical situation (one member always around, the 
other seldom, if ever), we've done our best to continue to make this 
a mutli-person show despite the fact that 99% of the time only one of 
us actually goes to the meetings, shows up in the studio and so on. 
To this end no matter where she is -- within the continental US and 
without -- Gen tries to call in and at least appear on the show by 
phone on a regular basis.

We'd hoped that the extra effort would be enough to satisfy the 
spirit of the rules if not the actual letter, but as WRFU grows and 
attempts are made to pull things together, we are aware that this 
effort may no longer suffice.

Regarding a date for Gen to be trained, I really couldn't say. Given 
her workload and the time and expense of traveling all the way back 
here, it would really just depend on other circumstances which I am 
not in a position to predict at the moment.

I sent her the form and she told me that she sent in her dues but at 
this moment I don't know when that was so for the moment I can't 
answer that question either.
