Omer, not everyone agrees with you that Hamakor's board needs to "assume the minimal role of money management and focal point of PR". In fact, much of the cry-outs against the board on this list in the past few months have been exactly against this: people said that Hamakor's board is doing *too little* and restricting its scope too much to what you described as its ideal role. Moreover, we have an example of a fruitful case of "having representatives sitting on an advisory board of another organization" this year: the board chose Edi and myself to sit on the advisory board for ISOC-IL initiative to fund free software (see http://www.isoc.org.il/open/). In a couple of week, when the results of this initiative are announced by ISOC-IL, you'll see just how fruitful this kind of cooperation can be. (Hint for the impatient: we wouldn't have had this kind of money in 10 years, if it weren't for ISOC-IL). Hamakor's board were not elected to be puppets: we (hopefully) elected people we trust, and we want them to make decisions, even tough decisions and decisions that give them "power" over allocating money and people. -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, Dec 21 2005, 20 Kislev 5766 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |I considered atheism but there weren't http://nadav.harel.org.il |enough holidays. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
