== H1B Board Position discussion - drich ==
Discussion of e-mail: "Board Position on Free Trade Agreements and H1B Visas impact on American Tech Workers ...", Harvey Rothenberg <forensic28sa@yahoo.com>, 26-Aug-2011
* Decided that Chris will draft a response for a personal answer, but not take a LOPSA position at this time as LOPSA is focused on promoting Systems Administration, not on influencing government policy.
