The Board of Directors crisis

[Last update: sometime in 1995]

This page contains information about the SCA Inc. corporate doings since January '94, when the Board tried to change several fundamental tenets of the society. There has been a lot of confusion since then; I don't claim to have all the answers, but I have accumulated what I know about the Board actions, the Mandamus petition, the financial problems, and so on. Some commentary is also included.

This page is maintained by Ellisif Flakkari.
