the Board to achieve mediation on Saturday and furthermore have failed to
implement the recommendations outlined in the previously leaked Treasurers
report.



The WIA Treasurer included as recipient of the email the WIA Reform Group
who were party to the failed mediation. The letter gives explicit
permission to publish the letter "so that WIA members can be made aware of

As some of you may be aware, Dishtronix has purchased the assets (but not
the liabilities) of Ten Tec from RKR Designs. . I had desired to keep this
