Metnick
said yesterday that an "official" announcement
would be released today, however that may not happen.
One of the board members who voted to cancel the show
said that Metnick did not have the authority to reverse
the board's decision (a decision Metnick contends was
never made by the board in the first place). The board
member with the opposing view has called on the attorney
for the group to advise the organization on who has the
authority to act under the LLC's operating
agreement. In a
further complication, three members of the board have
now resigned, including the chairperson, Jessica
Bookstaff. Dan Pulcrano informed us that he
has stepped in as acting chairman until a new chair is
elected and that only he and AC's Executive Director Patrick
Carleton have the authority to speak for or bind the
organization. Like Metnick, Pulcrano said the show will
go forward, noting that a block of rooms has been
contracted for and that those rooms can only be
cancelled by an AC officer. Given
the current situation, I would think that all of the
parties involved would wait to hear from the group's
attorney (probably on Monday) before issuing an
"official" statement on the status of the
show, but we'll see. At this stage anything could
happen.
