Good morning,
Weighing all the feedback here is what we are going to do. For now, I will
include everyone on the zoom call who says they want to be in the O&M
discussion. At any time, we can remove someone if they are combative.
Additionally, at any time if you NOMC want a specific meeting set up that is
specific to a smaller group, I am glad to do that. All you need do is let me
know.
Good conversation both via list serve and on Zoom

Subject: RE: [Nomc] Question about zoom participants
I have mixed emotions about this, and perhaps that comes from experiences
that should be left in the past. Perhaps trying it out to see how it goes,
but having a meeting that is just us involved, so that we are able to avoid
some of the subjects that will likely cause controversy with the
Conventional folks.
By the way, everyone wants to do this again next week, we may have a
tradition starting here. :)

Subject: [Nomc] Question about zoom participants
Hello,
First, my apology for the dropped zoom call today. I now know what the
problem is and will work for that not to happen again.
My question is about participation in any future of these zoom meetings.
At national convention we open our conference to anyone interested, but we
keep this NOMC list primarily restricted to only certified NOMC.
Last week, I mostly only allowed NOMC onto the zoom call list. This week I
am getting increasing numbers of requests to participate by O&M people who
are not NOMC. So far, I am adding them to the registration list; however, I
do realize in these times you all are discussing somewhat sensitive
information, some of which others may not agree with.
My question to those who are NOMC: From next week forward for as long as we
do these weekly zoom calls, are you all comfortable with conventional O&M
joining this conversation or would you rather I restrict it to only NOMC at
this time.
I am glad to do it either way
