Hi,
given the fact that we basically never use the board for anything
( there was no meeting in 1 year, almost no mail, ie, everything was
done by council ), and given the fact that basically, we do not even
respect our own procedure (ie what the use for me to keep track of who
is member of the association if we vote on irc without checking quorum
or anything ),
The busier people are, the more likely they are to forget things or
overlook things that should not be forgotten, even if they have thought
about them shortly before.
Sorry for my part in forgetting and overlooking things :(
Can't de voting(s) you are referring too be reverted and then redone the
proper way?
I would suggest that we massively simplify the whole
organisation by removing the board altogether.
Ie, we just keep the council, and that's all.
We did nothing of what we said we would, no one seems to bother enough
or to understand the difference between board and council, or is
motivated to keep them separate. So that's no use to keep it.
It is very, very, frustrating when things don't get done, especially
when you work really, really hard.
As a side note, whatever will result of this discussion and due to the
meeting of council tonight, I would like to immediately resign from my
position of secretary, my position on board and on council as packager
representative.
You've done tremendous good jobs so far, I can't think of anyone who
could replace you.
If for health reasons you must stop immediately, then of course stop and
make sure you recover :)
