Who said that you had to wait until the meeting?  I never once even
implied that.  Instead, I suggested regular meetings so we get *at
least* $n meetings a year and get consistent updates.

Having served as a Trustee before, I can tell you that having a set
meeting time would have likely helped us out, tremendously.  Had we a
set time to share information with other teams, we would not have likely
lost our standing in NM.  Without those meetings, we ended up letting
things slide longer and longer, as there was no pressure to get anything
done.
