What is Cedars actual legal involvement in the group since he is not a board member?
Who said he wasn't a board member. He is the president of the legally incorporated board
Why is he the only one who seems to have control over the name of the group?
He doesn't. Not everyone on the board posts here so you don't see or probably don't know them but their names are on the website.
I like the idea of this group for sure, and I can't imagine all the work and effort that has gone into this, but I am with many here who are concerned about the name. Why are our concerns about this particular matter invalid? No one seems to be answering this question other than what basically amounts to "because I said so," from Cedars.
Didn't I just say we would be talking about it along with the many other ideas so many have put forth? Do I really have to quote myself now? Go back and read it. No where did Cedars say "Because I said so" He knows better than anyone he can't change the name unless th eother board members agree. So far after only 3 days we have been busy with a lot of other things besides the name.
I understand Cedars' comments about the need to stay on course in order to be taken seriously, but the group is only 3 days old. If a name change is a valid consideration, isn't it worth discussing and implementing now?
My error. It has been 3 days since the world has known about the existence of AAWA? Did you go look the website to see the history behind the making of AAWA. Or look at Cedars website for the longer story? If not here you go:
