True enough. > To resolve this question, a motion was placed before the board > to approve an interim (read - temporary) fee schedule. According to the four-volume Modern World English Dictionary, the word 'interim' is defined as = during the intervening time or period. I take this to mean that this schedule is operative (and thus public information) until such time as it may be ammended by the Board and that it is not just a discussion proposal, yes? > Conditions attached include assurance that the question will be on the > boards' agenda until a final schedule is developed.

When I replied to your post (to ccn-ip and & the ccn-board) I indicated that I would procede to do so and no one voiced any objection at all. In any event, say the word and it will be gone. ;-> > Problems, or questions arising out of the interim question can be > directed to any board member for immediate attention, or for inclusion > at the next board meeting. > > -------------- > > At the same meeting, a discussion document was tabled for the boards' > consideration.

It seems, however, that "use ... in the performance of their duties ..." means that we refer people inquiring about these matters to the information (as indeed we have), ergo that it is thus public, at least on an 'iterim' (read 'for the time being') basis, yes?
