No it was not,
May I ask (and this is meant politely, to be clear) why not? I can understand not wanting to share the wording of the letter or whatever, I suppose, but for those of us who are members and who have given money to the organization, it's really, really gratifying to know what's being done with our dollars. Why wouldn't MSI communicate to it's membership that these letters had been sent?
Don't get me wrong - I have supported MSI in the past, I support MSI now, and I will continue to support MSI in the future, but I definitely think that there are times when more communication to the membership would be helpful.
Of course, it could just be that I'm doing something wrong somewhere, but I've paid membership dues to MSI on several occasions, as well as making extra donations on several more, and I never got communications from MSI on what was going on other than what I found here on the forum.
If these letters were sent as part of the effort to get some movement on administratively addressing the G&S thing, why wouldn't MSI at least put a blurb on the site saying so?
Sorry to come across as short and secretive on this, but MSI has not and will not share any correspondence with other organizations or individuals.
Can you elaborate on the reasoning for this?
I know MSI is a relatively small institution and can't be everywhere doing everything at once, so please don't take this as that kind of criticism. I'm just curious.
Thanks!
