Dear Harry:
Thank you for your note.
It'd be presumptuous that a single individual with no statutory standing in the Commission "may have some ideas on how to improve the commission’s operations" vis-a-vis the 15 members strong Commission who were appointed by the Governor and who "solemnly swore ... and discharge [my] duties with fidelity".
Absense of your [as Executive Director of Governor's Advisory Commission on Asian American Affairs or as "representatives of the commonwealth’s government"] affirmative and responsible answers to some of the relevant preliminary questions and concerns raised suppresses an ability to make an equitable and fair assessment of the expected performance level of the Commission.
I, as a member of the Korean-American Community (KAC), have broached to your attention - now, to the attention of The Honorable Salvatore Sirabella, Director of Governor's Office of Public Liaison as well - my prima facie observation of the apparent performance failure of the two members of the Commission representing the KAC. The episode of Michael Choi as Chairman of the Commission with his dismal attendance record in and of itself inevitably casts a public discredit and may constitute a classic case of dereliction of duty and AWOL. Yet, it would appear that the Commission may have been wittingly silent on this particular. The circumstances of Adam Kim as a member of the Commission with his seriously questionable performance and contributions to the KAC, the Commission and the Commonwealth also cast a public discredit and may constitute a classic case of performance deficit and failure to "discharge duties with fidelity".
The KAC is an integral part of the Asian-American Community and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As such, the KAC needs and deserves a better representation at the Commission by able, competent and committed new members of the Commission.
Will the Governor graciously heed this advice via The Honorable Salvatore Sirabella, Director of Governor's Office of Public Liaison?I submit on the record all these correspondence hithereto, vide infra, between you and me which commenced on "December 20, 2008 1:23 PM" to your next Commission Meeting as part of the Meeting "minutes".

To the best of my ability, I have responded to your consecutive requests for information. However, based on the long string of emails below, it seems that you may have some ideas on how to improve the commission’s operations. Therefore, to make this process more productive, I am inviting you to provide a detailed proposal to Mr. Sirabella, our commissioners, and I. Together we can act positively to plan, develop, and advance initiatives to achieve our mission of serving the commonwealth and all of its citizens.

Dear Harry:
While awaiting your response, the following observations are preliminarily made.
1. The record (i.e., minutes of September 16, 2004) shows that Adam Kim stated at the Commission's inaugural meeting "[t]o improve quality of life for Asians".
1.1. One may wonder how much he improved "quality of life for Asians" and/or what effort he made "to improve quality of life for Asians" during his tenure as a Commissioner up to now.
Would you provide data demonstrating his achievements/contributions to that effect during his tenure as a Commissioner for the last at least 4 years in a documentable and measurable terms?
2. The record (i.e., minutes of April 12, 2006) shows that Adam Kim stated that "on April 14th he attended the ROTEM Manufacturers celebration. ROTEM is looking to hire 200 more people
next year alone".
2.2. Would you provide data ascertaining that the company did hire "200 more people" the following year?
3. The attendance records show that he attended the Commissioner's Meetings 11 times out of a total 16 Meetings and spoke only twice, unless something missing here, during his tenure as a
Commissioner for the last at least 4 years.
3.1. Is it the level of duty that he meant when swore in "[I] will discharge my duties with fidelity" on September 16, 2004?
4. Would you provide data showing that Adam Kim competently and "with fidelity" contributed to carrying out the stated "Mission" and "Functions" of the Commission as promulgated by the Governor
in his Executive Order of Jue 22, 2003?
5. I submit on the record all these correspondence hithereto, vide infra, between you and me which commenced on "December 20, 2008 1:23 PM" to your next Commission Meeting as part of the Meeting "minutes".
Stay warm!

Dear Harry:
Thank you for your note.Although the organization chart is not officially adopted,
1. If "not officially adopted," what is/are the relevance and power of the Chart?
2. Don't you think that the Chart should be officially adopted as an instrument of the [Commission and/or] Governor's Office of Public Liaison for its governance and operations?The executive director and deputy executive director were appointed by Governor Rendell as representatives of the commonwealth’s government
3. The Governor's Executive Order of June 22, 2003 states "The Governor shall appoint an Executive Director an a Deputy Executive Director of the Commission, who will serve at this pleasure".(2.c.)
3.1. Would you clarify if your statement of "representatives of the commonwealth’s government" is synonymous with "of the Commission" (emphasis added.) of the Governor's Order?Regarding the attendance of Michael Choi, your count should be correct.

4.2. If so, has the Governor been made aware that Michael Choi attended only the first three (3) Commission Meetings (i.e., September 16, 2004; November 18, 2004 and January 26, 2005) out of total sixteen (16) Meetings through 2008?
4.3. Separately, does the Commission know why he has faild to participate in the Meetings?
4.4. Have you and/or the Commission made to the Governor through the Office of Public Liaison a "[r]ecommendation to terminate membership of a Commission member, who has been absent without excuse for more than two consecutive meetings"?
<Bylaws of the Commission, Article III>.
5. The record (i.e., minutes of September 16, 2004) shows that Michael Choi stated "[t]o raise money and find funding for services for Asians in the community, EX., Translators at PennDot Goal is to raise enough money to expad Commission t spread throughout the State and to provide aid to communities. Use contacts and connections to get the word out" as Chairman of the Commission.
5.1. If this record will stand correct, how much money/monies did Michael Choi raise "for services for Asians in the community"?
5.2. If this record will stand correct, how much "funding" did Michael Choi "find" "for services for Asians in the community"?

Following are responses to your questions:
Although the organization chart is not officially adopted, it shows how the commission is structured. Mr. Salvatore Sirabella (Email address: ssirabella@stat.pa.us) is the Director of the Governor’s Office of Public Liaison and he oversees all of the Governor’s commissions, including the Governor's Advisory Commission on Asian American Affairs. The commissioners were appointed by Governor Rendell as representatives of the commonwealth’s Asian American communities. The executive director and deputy executive director were appointed by Governor Rendell as representatives of the commonwealth’s government. There are no supervisory relationships between the commissioners and executive director because we all work together as partners. Our mission is to plan, develop and promote initiatives to benefit the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its citizens culturally, economically, educationally, socially, and technologically.
The commissioners are governed by Executive Order 2003-8 and the commission’s bylaw, both of which have been sent previously to you. Regarding the attendance of Michael Choi, your count should be correct. Since commissioners are not paid and the majority have full-time engagements elsewhere, whatever time one may volunteer to help the commission is appreciated.
I have served in my current capacity as the commission’s first executive director since June of 2004.

Dear Harry:
Thank you for the material.
1. When was the Chart adopted as such? Or,
2. Is it an amended Chart if not the originally adopted one?
3. The Chart shows that "Executive Director" reports to "Director, Governor's Office of Public Liaison", not to "Commissioners".
3.1. Is that right?
3.2. If so, what is the working relationship between "Executive Director" and "Commissioners" as the Chart indicates no link between the two though on the same plane?
4. Would you provide bylaws governing the operations of "Commissioners"?
5. What is an official email address of "Salvatore Sirabella"?
6. Since when have you been "Executive Director"?
7. The data you presented indicate, if one counted correctly, that Michael Choi attended only the first three (3) Commission Meetings out of total sixteen (16) Meetings through 2008.
September 16, 2004

Following are clarifications that you requested in your email dated January 27, 2008:
Our October 11, 2006 meeting summary stated that all commissioners were excused because we had lost the list of commissioners that were in attendance. The proper interpretation was that we no longer had an official record of presence or absence of commissioners at that meeting.
The only information reported by commissioners and sub-committee members was already included in section VI “commissioners’ report and sub-committees update,” in the October 11, 2006 meeting summary, which I had sent to you. No other reports were made by commissioners or sub-committee members.
