Memorandum from Ed Ferguson to members of the Executive Committee about ACAS meetings at the African Studies Association (ASA) meeting in St. Louis. Details are provided about two Executive Committee meetings (with four members expected at the first one - Cooper, Ferguson, Martin and Nzongola) and a Board meeting with eight members expected (Mittelman, Wiley, Turshen, Thompson, Day, Moore, Panofsky, and Jim Cason for Jennifer Davis). Several Board members did not RSVP. Representatives from these groups have been invited: Amnesty International (A. Cyllah), Lawyers Committee for Human Rights (B. Nowrojee), Africa Watch (J. Fleischman), TransAfrica (R. Robinson), Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa (G. Caffentzis and S. Federici will attend), and American Committee on Africa (J. Cason will attend). Ferguson says he has firmly decided to step down from the Exec (and Board), and he asks the "New Blood Committee" to find someone to take over from him with a fresh agenda for the coming year.
