How can you register your opinion on issues before the EC when they don't publish them, in detail, well in advance of the meeting.

There's two possible reasons. Incompetence or deliberate. Pick one. But I give them credit for some intelligence, so I contend this is deliberate. Why? Simple. When members have to go to extra effort to find out what's happening, most don't. The Dear Leader and the ED know this, which is how they use it as a tactic to keep members in the dark until it's too late ... after the EC has already voted ... and largely without input from members.

Why are they so afraid of doing publishing detailed agendas in advance? Make no mistake, this is one of the ways a small cabal at Taj-Munice controls AMA's millions in spending ... not the members.
