11The purpose of this letter is to provide
information and answers to frequently ask
questions to the affiliated clubs in Oklahoma
and members of the OBF. All the information in
this presentation is based on the information,
that was available as of Tuesday, January 17,
2006 1939 PM. Answers to Four FAQ 1. How
did the OBF vote on the issue of
supporting the TBF/FLW or BASS LLC last
week at the Federation Championship ? I
collected the information that was presented by
BassFan, BASS LLC and the TBF/FLW. After,
reviewing the programs, I called a meeting with
the Executive BOD (via a conference call)
and presented them a recommendation. The
EBOD was unanimous in supporting the
recommendation. The OBF voted to support
the combined offers of TBF including BassFan
and FLW/Wal-Mart.
12- Answers to FAQ
- 2. Why did you vote in Florida and not bring
the issues - back to Oklahoma ?
- At the December board meeting it was motioned,
seconded - and unanimous approved to empower the
President to - make a decision in Florida. I handled the
situation as we - always have, in that no one person makes a
decision. For - example no one person disqualifiers an angler
in an OBF - event for a rules violation. The TD , ATD
and Pres - discuss the situation, collect information
and make a - decision. In this case, I used the same
process, by - collecting the data, reviewing the options
and considering - the ramifications then formulated a
recommendation and - presented the information to the EBOD.
When the - EBOD collectively supported the
recommendation, - I moved forward to support the
TBF/BassFan/FLW plan.
13Answers to FAQ
4 Will the OBF be forming a new corporation
? The EBOD discussed this issue last
night. The OBF is a non-profit corporation. As
we understand the articles of incorporation do
not reference B.A.S.S. or BASS-LLC. But,
reference that the OBF will affiliate with an
organization of like mind. Thus, it will not be
necessary for the OBF to form a new corporation.
However, any clubs that wish to de-affiliate with
the OBF will need to form a new organization and
a new corporation. Again, we will discuss
this issue during the conference call. It is not
the EBOD desire to destroy the OBF or hold any
club hostage.
