Dear Voting Representatives, You have heard it said that there were offlist attempts to resolve with me, privately, the matter now at hand. On review of the past 6 months of my email archives and other records, I find only the following relevant communications from FIG members.
- On 28 May, I received an email from Lukas Kahwe Smith regarding my comments on the decision by the secretaries not to count the vote of a Voting Representative. He was gracious and instructive, and I feel the interaction was both positive and educational for me. There was no mention of attempting to remove me as a Voting Representative. - On 04 Jun, Michael Cullum invited me to a Google Hangout. Among other topics in a 90-minute discussion, he noted that about 20 people had contacted the secretaries, asking that I be expelled. He went on to declare that the secretaries would in fact be presenting their complaint to the list. Further, he stated that the secretaries would definitely call for a vote on the complaint, and opined that the vote would settle the matter one way or another. To be clear, the message was not "you should think about changing your interaction style"; it was "this is going to happen, and you cannot stop it". - On 08 Jun, Matthew Weier O'Phinney sent an email encouraging me in the friendliest possible way to resign. To paraphrase, he opined that I had three options: adapt to recent changes and/or submit to proposed changes in FIG, continue to argue against those changes, or leave the group entirely. His advice was (again paraphrasing) to stop fighting and go my own way. (Please note that this arrived *after* I had been informed that a complaint would be presented to the group by the secretaries.) I admit to imperfect memory, and so I may have failed to recall or discover other messages from FIG members. If there are private emails from FIG members that I have missed, I trust they will bring those communications to my attention on this thread. You may decide for yourself if these constitute adequate attempts at private conflict-resolution. -- Paul M.
