This resolution allowed for the continuation of talks with ROAA\/BOR representatives but required that \u201cdue diligence\u201d special committees (namely a Constitution &amp; By-laws Committee, a Jurisprudence Committee, and a Finance Committee) be named. No progress has been seen from these \u201cdue diligence\u201d Committees normally formed of experts, e.g. lawyers, accountants, etc. In this context it is important to note what \u201cdue diligence\u201d entails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due diligence means evaluating the merits of a possible merger\/acquisition from legal, financial, and other pertinent and applicable decision-making perspectives. This audit approach should be based on complete data and information, and presupposes that the hard questions are asked by the interested party, and that complete answers are given by the other party. Based on these results, merger\/acquisition discussions either proceed or cease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, the process of question-gathering that started at the 2008 Episcopate Congress should be expanded so that a full battery of questions that Episcopate members have is compiled. Please send your questions (both clergy and faithful) to this website. (Anonymity will be preserved.) We will post the pertinent, non-duplicated questions on this website and forward these to the appropriate due diligence committee chairman. These questions will complement the more specific expert questions that will most surely be asked by the due diligence committee members (lawyers, accountants, etc.) In this way a comprehensive list of questions to be asked of the ROAA and the Romanian Patriarchate can be prepared. If official responses to these questions are received at this website, they will also be posted here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical questions are: \u201cwho can vote on this?\u201d, \u201chas anyone ever heard of maximal autonomy?\u201d, \u201cwhat\u2019s the hurry?\u201d, \u201cwho gains from this?\u201d, \u201cwho will cover the close to $2,000,000 (or more) ROAA debt?\u201d etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are still collecting your \u201cDue Dilligence\u201d questions, but have decided not to post them yet, awaiting the ROAA to begin answering the original ones asked by the ROEA\u2019s official \u201cDue Dilligence\u201d committees.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The unity issue and due diligence At the Episcopate Council meeting held on the eve of the 2008 Episcopate Congress, the Episcopate Council voted for a resolution that was also approved by the 2008 Episcopate Congress.
