Looking at the March 2012 AMC Agenda

Remember that long fully researched report about Local Group funding and needs and uses? The AMC threw up their hands "omg, change bad..." and took no action.


(Side note: I got an email from Rob Salkin recently letting me know he's my AMC liaison and asking if there was anything I'd like him to bring up at the meeting. I replied "What are you my liaison for?" to which he answered "the Local Group Service & Funding Task Force." Ummm, Rob, you guys dissolved that in September.)


But look, now there's a motion, by Rob, of all people, to give groups 1/3 of dues income— DOUBLING the amount groups used to get 8 years ago. No research. No details about why. Oh, and the financial impact says "No impact to the bottom line... but one or more budget areas will likely need to be cut..." to the tune of half a million dollars.  Hmmm... half a million sounds like a wee impact on the bottom line of a budget.

In other news, as everyone knows, I did a ton of work, at the request of the AMC, to solve the issue of RVC replacement—an issue that must, by law, be resolved. I gave it to them in December. I see on the agenda for this meeting... er......nothing.

No mention of it at all.

Wow. Just wow.
