does anyone know the copyright rules or laws regarding this issue, i dont believe we are allowed to put jeppesen charts onto our artcc websites.

You are NOT allowed to do so

It was not intended to be a dig at anyone, it's a statement of my principles i've been taught as a leader and been in similiar wording through several leadership seminars.

The previous administration did plenty of good things for VATUSA and VATSIM, however what we needed then and now need more than ever is stability. This past administration with no disrespect, has not accomplished that task and further plagued us with instability.

While their intent is to enact change, whether that happens now or later, the members of VATUSA suffer now in the void these folks have left behind.

You know that is a fine principal and all but frankly it doesn't work.  I may not have agreed with the decision some of my predecessors made, heck I got fired by one of them but their hearts were in the right place and frankly its an insult to be trying to place blame on people who put some much effort into this.  I would invite you to try to spend just a week up in the meat grinder and see how you like it.  I had the privilege of working for three administrations (four if you count the few hours I worked for one person) these people dedicated countless hours to this hobby, a lot more then they should have.  Its really easy for everyone here to talk the talk saying that we need stability and all of this, spend some time in one of these guys shoes you will learn quick that this is a full time job on top of life, it just isn't that simple.

You have a separate password for VATUSA and the network.  You need to use the lost password tool located on the homepage
