[Fmpro] Chiming In 2.0

[Tracey Larvenz]

Hey Doug,

I was wondering how members can currently keep tabs on their  
candidate's voting record.  In traditional politics, a candidate says  
what they believe their constituency wants to hear in order to get  
elected, but with ASCAP there's no way to find out how they are  
holding up their end of the bargain.

For that matter, a board member can say he voted one way or another  
and there's no proof for or against that.  I'm not trying to point a  
finger at board members and say that they are less than honorable in  
their stated commitments, but in the lack of clarity in the  
fundamental operations of the organization, there certainly is room  
for those who wish to abuse this.

Given this, how can one hold their candidate accountable if there is  
no accounting of what their candidate is doing?

I'm hard pressed to think of any good reason to withhold the  
attendance records and meeting minutes from the general membership.   
Can you shed a bit of light on this?
