[CPEO-MEF] RAB Crisis - HELP!

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

[from Laura Olah <olah@speagle.com>]

Today, the Army announced its intent to establish a new RAB without a
vote from the existing RAB to adjourn.  Sound familiar?  The Army is
insisting on changes in our by-laws, esp co-chairmanship and a vote.
(We've had a community chair since our inception 7+ years ago.)  I
understand DERP and other guidance recommends a military co-chair,
however, I also understand that as a rule the military co-chair and
enviromental regulators do NOT have a vote.  I need to document this for
the upcoming meeting of our (original) RAB.

QUESTION: Do you have information on voting by the military and
regulatory RAB members including what is happening at other bases in
this regard? Something as simple as a list of several dozen RAB's where
the military and regulators do not vote would do the trick.

THANK YOU!!!!
Laura
