(However, see my comments on volunteer associations). Mike, it's not often, but you and I disagree on this one. There were two problems. Don't forget that the list of volunteers was announced along with the selection process. I fully accept Andrew Lange's explanation that a message got hung in the queue. Never-the-less, selection of our leadership should not be taken lightly. When the foul-up was discovered, the chair followed the procedure that was documented. Please let's recognize that Mr. Lange has erred on the side of transparency. I applaud his choice.
