Look at this AI Response!

After writing the previous post about the July 1st meeting summary on the new Facebook group's page, I inadvertently searched for the wording that I had copied from the Facebook post.

That wording was:

Inquiry made regarding why Ms. Bryant (Board member) was not allowed to join the CCR committee, despite requesting two months ago — no response from Chair (Danny).
Meeting Accessibility
Request made to reinstate microphone use for hearing assistance.
Board response: They will "just speak louder."

Take a look at this "AI Overview" response from Google:

    • Committee Selection: Ms. Bryant requested to join the CCR committee two months ago but hasn't received a response from the Chair, Danny. According to one source, unless an organization's rules specify otherwise, a committee chair lacks the authority to refuse or accept membership offers; the authority to appoint members usually rests with the parent body or the assembly as a whole. If the organization's bylaws or policies grant the board members the right to join committees or have a say in committee appointments, Danny's actions could be in violation. Foundation Group explains that addressing conflicts through open communication and clear expectations can help resolve such issues.
    • Meeting Accessibility: The board's response to the microphone request—"They will just speak louder"—is inadequate and potentially discriminatory. Organizations have an obligation to provide reasonable accommodations to ensure effective communication for individuals with disabilities, including those with hearing loss. According to the ADA, this may include auxiliary aids and services like assistive listening systems, sign language interpreters, or real-time captioning, depending on the needs of the individual. Relying solely on speaking louder may not be sufficient for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to fully participate in meetings. 

I thought it was only homeowners and Voting Members who experienced delays in responses from Danny; now we know that at least one Board Member can't get a response out of him.

Why doesn't Brenda Bryant just show up for Covenants Committee meetings? She doesn't need Danny's permission.

Why isn't the Covenants Committee on the HOA's July online calendar? Anyone know when the meeting is?
