Dear Brother K.P.,
Thank you for your email. On August 22, nearly a month ago, I emailed you, saying:
“Can you confirm that you are willing to schedule a meeting with us, at which the GFA US board is present by phone or in person, and having a mediator we select who can keep it on track with the agenda?”
I never received a response to that email, even though you had been quite responsive by email from India previously. On September 6, I emailed you again, saying:
“In your last email to me, you offered to meet with us, with whoever we wanted to bring. In response, I emailed you asking about inviting board members and a mediator to a recorded meeting, and I’ve not heard back from you for two weeks. Can you please confirm your willingness to schedule that meeting?”
I also received no response to that email. So I was pleasantly surprised to hear from you this morning.
I am appreciative that you acknowledge the board as your authority, and that we have appealed to them. Thus you can understand that for any meeting to have a beneficial outcome at this stage, it would need to include the board, as well as a small representative group of us and a mediator to keep it on track with the agenda.
Brother K.P., this isn’t just an issue between you and me. Seventy-five people signed this most recent appeal to the board. They all desire these problems to be brought to the attention of the board and dealt with correctly and corporately, so a meeting with just me won’t be adequate to achieve that. We strongly believe that the board is the main avenue for the reconciliation you speak of.
I will call you tomorrow afternoon to arrange details for a meeting and discuss any pertinent details. If that time doesn’t work, please suggest a more preferable time.
In Him,
JD
