The LSA self certification in the USA was found to be not working. More than 40% failure rate when the FAA checked up.

And mine too John. You have always shown to be open, honest and courteous to all members.

Maj, it would have gotten to this stage because the audit was scheduled before the Morgan Sierra hit the ferris wheel at Old Bar. The FAA in the USA had had lots of issues with LSA and CASA would have come expecting to find a problem or two but found more than "one or two". There were a lot of other things looked at in that first Audit on 21 Nov 2011 and most got an OK tick. But the LSA problems resulted in CASA issuing a "Safety Alert". The rest is a long downhill slide to oblivion.

Gavin, there were two more resignations in your time on the Board, Bill Cain and Don Ramsay. Both of them resigned by email and not "in writing delivered to Pirie Street, Fyshwick". As their terms were not due to expire until September 2013, are they not, by your reasoning, still Board Members? Also, are Dave Caban and Jim Tatlock therefore not Board Members because there should not have been a by-election for two "seats" that you would reason are not "vacant"? Can you now see the "wisdom" of your earlier post?

The cases are not the same. The other resignation was Nick Sigley and his resignation was only offered. He tendered his resignation (by email) and the Board declined to accept the resignation as was their right. Runciman emailed the Secretary that he had resigned. Almost all Board business is done electronically.
