Hey,I think the lack of intrest in the topics that will go on the meeting shows more than anything the tiredness of people.In general this is a pretty bad time for originizing a meeting, people are in miluim, some people are far away from home, and some just doesn't 
want to get to ta right now and leave their families far away.Anyhow since I won't be able to attend the meeting tomorrow, I will like to go to yadid state if possible in order not to ruin the majority needed.

This board, as well as the previous board, held almost 100% of theirdeliberations online, using email and IRC, and hardly ever held any phonecalls or physical meetings (I think the number of physical meetings was
exactly zero). Your hearing problem would not have mattered one iota when itcomes to board discussions.

What we need now are people who come up and say "I nominate myself", not
those explaining why they don't. We already have enough of those...

But sadly, your explanations are based on false assumptions:

This board, as well as the previous board, held almost 100% of their
deliberations online, using email and IRC, and hardly ever held any phone
calls or physical meetings (I think the number of physical meetings was
exactly zero). Your hearing problem would not have mattered one iota when it

Omer, you obviously disagree with the board's decisions in this matter.
Now is not the time to rehash whether they made a correct or wrong decision -
now is the time to stand up and say "I would have made a better decision"
and to nominate yourself for board.
As a board member (if the two others agree with you, of course) you would
have had the power to make decisions, not just suggestions, regarding that
movie that troubled you.

Anyone nominating themselves for board should be prepared: some of your
decisions are not going to supported by 100% of the people. Since people
don't tend to send mails saying "I agree with you", but somehow love to
send mails saying "you're stupid, you should have done THIS instead",
you're going to get a lot of nasty mail. Unfortunately the outgoing board
got so much of that it became really disgusting. It seems that as the Amuta
grows, dealing with "professional complainers" appears to come with the job
of board member :(

Here it is the time to raise my personal beef.

During the last year, I was considering several times taking more active
part in directing Hamakor.  At the time there were several arguments in
this mailing list about future directions of Hamakor, and I participated
and wrote my opinions.

However, I was concerned about accessibility i.e. being able to FULLY
participate in board discussions.  My cash flow situation also did not
permit me to fully finance the accessibility provisions needed by me (a
notetaker or interpreter to accompany me to meetings).

Another activity to which I did not volunteer due to concerns about
accessibility (to committee discussions and in access to information)
was leading the AP5 effort (an activity, which Shlomi Fish eventually
took upon himself, and then I joined to help him).

Few weeks ago there were heated arguments about accessibility of a movie
to be produced from AP5, and I saw that several people won't support
accessibility and making the effort to fully include hearing-impaired
people, if it could hurt them in a non-trivial way; and that they would
not accommodate my request for more effort toward including me in
certain activities, even if I put in more effort to volunteer to benefit
the entire community.
[To be fair, I must note that I got also supporting E-mail; however it
came from very few persons.]

This caused me to feel like 2nd class citizen in the community.
Accordingly, I decided to be 2nd class citizen all the way.

So, I reduced my involvement in the community and in AP5 organization to
the minimum required to meet my obligations to other people with
disabilities.  Among other things, I am now yadid rather than a voting
member and I do not plan to come to the Assembly.
