Because it all takes time and someone has to learn and remember that all 
this needs to be done. In my opinion the OGB has done a very poor job 
letting the communities know what is expected of them in areas like 
this.  It appears to me that the OGB assumes that community leaders 
actively "pull" information, stuff this important (even if it is in the 
approved constitution) really should be "pushed" (just once is fine).

Now that I know we need to do this I'm working to rectify things for the 
security community.
