Hi Brian;
     In both the 1998 and 2000 editions of the Roster the 
Consitution, By-Laws, Code of Ethics and Committee Objectives and 
raison de etre' for each was laid out in quite some detail.   When 
such detail is provided as an adjunct to the By-Laws it must be 
assumed that this is part and parcel of the rules under which the AKA 
should operate...   Splitting hairs and saying that only those 
committees we want are to be recognized and the others are just step 
children to be ignored as needed is rather slipshod.

     Don't you agree that since previous AKA BOTS took the time to 
define and list various committees and their functioning should still 
be the way the AKA should work.  Otherwise why take the time to be so 
specific ?   Or am I just "hollerin' in the dark".  Pardon the 
regional colloquialism.
