Caryn Ann,

It's interesting that on page 2 of this document you do say that if someone
re-uses your work, credit would be appreciated.  I see a sizable section
that was substantially copy/pasted verbatim from materials that I wrote
from scratch as instructions for electronic meeting participants, but the
courtesy of credit was not given to me.  For additional irony, the final
sentence of the email again attempts to drive the narrative that such
contributions to institutional knowledge didn't exist before, all while
partially copying materials written by your predecessor.  :-)  Just
sayin'...

Even though I have changed the Delegation Chair's Manual quite a bit from
when I took up the task, I still give Bob Sullentrup front-page credit, and
some of his original work is still there intertwined with mine.  Attached
is the 2020 version, where you can see his name on the front page.

-Alicia
