Seems odd to me that we vote members into positions, then act like they cannot be trusted. The 3 Champions act as the checks to oversee the operations and act as the voice of the members and non-members. I feel like the champions have (in the past) been VERY understanding of the complex nature of conflict resolution. We elect not 1 but up to 3 for a reason. This allows a person multiple channels of communication. In the past, concerns have remained candid and have been handled with tact. When has our current system broke down?
I know that people have had disagreements about the direction of the space but that is expected and encouraged. Without it we stagnate. Issues arise when we cannot respect each other and resort to yelling, name calling, or other tactics. Maybe instead of a working group, outside of the elected board, we have a talk about Roberts Rules of Order, conflict resolution, and softskills? It could help everyone work together more fluidly. If this is of interest to anyone else I can talk to the speakers I know and have them lead all interested in a workshop/talk.
