Wow, this is a startling claim.  (Was there follow-up?  I missed it.)
More info please.  Was the above discussed in a public forum?
Are you suggesting such a motion is pending?

Not necessarily.  Better to dissolve and start again than
continue dysfunctionally.  Think NRMA, Coles Myer, RMIT, HIH, One.Tel...
(Err, not suggesting CAI Committee is dysfunctional, but I honestly
can't recall the last time I heard from them in this forum, or any
other I'm on.)

Steve.
Secretary, CBV.
