I as one of the members of the Koozali Foundation, Inc board would like to
encourage all community members to speak up and make a vote.
It is time for the community to choose their fate you all have a responsibility
to speak if you want SME to continue.
Regards
Tony Keane
Secretary

Subject: [devinfo] REQUEST FOR VOTE: SME Project Leadership
It appears that there are some who feel the current Koozali Foundation and
Board of Directors is illegitimate and has no community backing because it was
formed instead of officially voted in. The current Foundation was formed under
the direction of a US licensed attorney and follows standard Non-Profit
Organization practices and guidelines.
All organizations need some kind of leadership in order to make decisions for
the organization; otherwise, the organization basically goes nowhere. The
intention of all of those who have been working on this effort was and is to
bring order to disorder and help grow the SME project and make it better. This
is it – no agenda beyond that. Those on the current board essentially
volunteered.
Directly to the point: Since there are those who think the organization that
was formed over the last six months is illegitimate because it wasn't voted on,
let’s vote. There are many people putting in a lot of their own personal time
and money to build the current organizational structure. If this isn’t what
the community wants, then please let’s put an end to it and stop wasting the
time of those putting in the time and money to make the organization.
Please don’t just pass this message by. Vote on it so that we can move forward
in a productive fashion without even the implication of illegitimacy, one way
or the other.
Here are the options I see:
Option 1: Dis-ban the current board and foundation and go back to the status
quo as of six months ago.
Option 2: Keep the current Foundation, but elect a new board of directors.
Option 3: Keep the current Foundation and board of directors.
