I'm sure the Board brought various aspects to their decision including female representation.
Not winning at an election should not imply a loss of trust, only that one did not get more votes than another. I believe one should contribute to the organisation before being rewarded by an office. I certainly believe that Fiona has done this. This would also back up my statement in RPD that to be elected as a Co-Chair, one should have contributed in some way to Policy.
