[Totals for the first quarter of FY2022 (re open meetings & re closed meetings) = 45 + 19 = 64 … Oct2021 = 10 + 4 = 14, Nov = 19 + 11 = 30, Dec = 16 + 4 = 20. A quarterly rate of 64 annualises as 256.

[ED Lydia Brazon has stated on a number of occasions that Jon Almeleh is Pacifica’s CPB compliance officer (he says his job title, since 2006, has been National Technical Director – https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-almeleh-4a1b209 & https://www.zoominfo.com/p/Jon-Almeleh/1158446831), so why isn’t he making a monthly weekly public disclosure of (1) the violations he has identified, (2) those he deems responsible, & (3) how quickly each violation was corrected? But Pacifica is administered on quite a different basis: in general, not transparent but opaque; in particular, not the taking of responsibility but the facilitating of evasion. The result? Actions without consequences confer no-one ever being held accountable for what they do, for their acts of commission & omission. Bad things just happen. No-one knows why. No-one’s responsible. Nothing’s ever learnt. Spin & repeat – no rinse.

[So the Houston station house simply filled up with mould. No-one knows why, no-one’s responsible, no-one seems to care – that’s why no-one called for an inquiry, neither a director nor a KPFT LSB delegate, & no-one demanded ED Brazon explain, in writing, publicly, why she had allowed this asset to deteriorate – to zero. Mould is mould, & in PacificaWorld everyone simply expects a house to fill up with mould, everyone simply expects a house to end up without re-sale value. It may be that California law has a concept of a director’s fiduciary responsibility but that’s for other public charities, not Pacifica. Law, fed or state, that’s for RealWorld, not PacificaWorld. Ditto CPB requirements – in any case, Pacifica can always rely on the connections CFO Anita Sims says she has in Washington. Yup, this compliance malarkey is for losers.]

None. (But then they hardly meet – usually once every 2mths. A beacon of wide & deep participatory decision-making; motivating Pacificans to get involved, injecting vitality into the ~14 157 affiliated to the station at 30June2021, according to the National Elections Supervisor; the breakers leading from the front – showcasing the sort of Pacifica they believe in.)
