I would like to make amends for being lacks in my duties. This quarter there where areas I needed to pay more attention to details. In the case Kim’s response to Brian T. the process is the Regional Trustee get the first crack at it. There after we are to go off the record and discuss it, not firing back and forth online. Secondly in the case of Earl’s emergency motion, Kim had point out something to me, thank you. The delay in the minutes that’s me not assisting the secretary. I will in sure you these lacks will not happen again.
