Genesis

Note that while the CDS apparently promised David that these resolutions would be considered at the meeting, it is, as of this time, not on the agenda for the public part of the meeting.

In other words there is no intent to be honest, and it appears that whatever the CDS intends to do on the CCR Cave class/S&Ps is in fact going to happen "behind the backs" of the membership - whether cave and rebreather divers - and CDS members - like it or not!

Folks, if you care about cave access on a CCR you need to CALL the CDS board, or, if you can, attend the meeting - it is this Saturday.

Barring your active participation it is entirely possible that the this could affect YOU in the not-so-distant future, if you cave dive in the United States and use a CCR!

The people to call are:

Gene Melton, Chairman
Home 904-794-7896

Forrest Wilson, Vice Chairman
home 404-292-5613

Bill Rotella, Treasurer
(386) 663-5163 Cell

John Jones, Training Chairman
HM 386 752-7529
Cel 386 965-5233

Richard Blackburn, Secretary
Home: 770-815-7387


Ralph DiPanfilo, Director at Large
(386) 454-0690

Kelly Jessop, Leadership Director
229-924-2750


Its past the time to talk on boards in this matter, nor is it appropriate to do anything that is not in public any longer. This is about transparency, and the only question remaining is whether or not the CDS is going to be held to account - and operate transparently - or not.
