<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u>Whether or not that information was already publicly available. The intent of the members that released the information was in response to community asking for the board to release the information. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u>The proper way for that information to be released would have been through the approved board process.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u>The members in question that released information did it in their capacity as board members and would have received that information under that capacity.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u>Every action has consequences and as adults we make decisions having considered the consequences one would assume.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u>But blowing a procedural issue like this to this level and even trying to relate or connect it to a personal decision of an employee to resign is reaching and really not in the spirit of the entire community or our organisations.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u></p>
