I think it is only fair to let Bryan tell us his side of the story. Even criminals get a fair trial.

>>> I am very disturbed about the allegations against Bryan.  To me the allegations do not hang together.  This smells very like a well planned character assassination and not a legitimate beef against a fellow employee.  There are 3 areas of concern that I believe warrant further action on our part.  1.  When Brian left headquarters to move to Seattle he was allowed to continue in his position remotely ( I hear he was asked to do this by his bosses).  Ann and I see this as a requiring a great deal of trust and respect.  Not something accorded to a trouble maker and non-team player. 2.  The allegation that Bryan misappropriated funds.  A crime.  Yet there have been no consequences for this supposed crime.  3.  Last fall Bryan taught on a cruise run by an ACBL client. This doesn't sound like an activity the league would have allowed if Bryan were a person in bad standing.
>>> I understand the need to keep this issue confidential.  But I feel that is conflict with what we should do.  I believe that Bryan should be informed of these charges and given the chance to answer them in front of the board as soon as possible.  I do not feel the board can make a fair choice in the upcoming election without hearing from Bryan.  Anyone in his position should have the right to answer these charges.
>>> 
>>> Therefore I am asking the board to vote Yes or No.  Bryan should be given a hearing before the board to answer these charges and should be informed in full of nature and specifics of the charges.  That should take place at the September meeting.
>>> 
>>> Please note, I believe this is a very delicate matter and that Tim has handled it well thus far.  I do not want the letter Tim read to us to be made available to Bryan in full, because I do not think he needs to know who was involved in receiving information and passing it on on our end.  Please carefully consider your position, send out any comments you have and send on your decision as soon as possible.

>>> Thank you for reading this and thank you ahead of time for tackling this very difficult situation.
