It looks good. I'm glad to see it, even though I am not a con attendee (of any cons).

That seems very comprehensive and is quite impressive.

I wish the concom all possible luck with the future of the con.

That looks like a properly thorough response on the part of the concom.

I'm impressed and relieved.

How are you holding up in all of this?

Holy crap! Not just a well-crafted and heartfelt apology, not just a reversal of the decision, but the resignation of the Board! Color me extremely impressed. Hope this relieves some of your stressors. *hugs*

I've no connection to the con, obviously, or to any other, but that looks like exactly the response that's needed to the situation I've read about. Well done!

I hope this helps to turn things about and that the con will be able to go on for many more years.

I fell asleep before two in the morning on Saturday night and slept for nearly ten hours; I was exhausted by Sunday midnight. Today, I think I'm starting to come back. I am glad of the decisions that have been made.

Say so over at readercon! The more feedback, the better.

A lot of people put a lot of time into it. I'm really glad it worked.

Tell them! (And then come to Readercon this year.)

I'm impressed and relieved.

These are good reactions!

And tell the concom!
