As for the rest, I guess we can all read their statements. I am disappointed that the existing Board did not lift a finger to assist the petition campaign. That says all it needs to say.<br /><br />I think the way the voting works is that if you only vote for her it is better than voting for anyone else as a second candidate, since those second votes also count.Khalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866897914538110672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-52735261395560699912010-12-20T14:40:19.286-07:002010-12-20T14:40:19.286-07:00Now that the election has begun, is there anyone o...Now that the election has begun, is there anyone on the current board you would recommend we endorse by voting?

We use the language here and other places that the board never stated publicly why the three of us were not selected to be on the ballot, but I was never told privately either, even when I asked after the petition process was all over. The reply I got was that there were no particular reasons discussed, it was just by vote of the Nominating Committee. I find that a little hard to believe, but in either case, there was no answer given to me, and in closing, it was suggested that I should try to "move on" and find other ways to contribute my services to the League.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429839294456954765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-45541759623704450572010-11-10T08:34:59.687-07:002010-11-10T08:34:59.687-07:00Bummer +

I only wish the incumbent board members had enough self awareness to be ashamed of themselves for rigging the system.<br />The petition signature requirements weren't designed to be difficult. They were designed to be impossible. And they are.<br />I have long said that petition signature requirements are a poor way to have a good board. Instead, I believe _every_ prospective director should spell out in detail what he wants for the League, and that information should be on the web site.<br />Please, don't refer to this as an "election." It's a North Korean blessing of the Chosen Colleagues.<br />I am one of the people who couldn't sign. I was a League member for more than 20 years, and I was vice president of the board for two years. But I can't stomach the prospect of sending the League one thin dime. The way they treated you only hardens my resolve.<br />-- John SchubertUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08206013760733834442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-75439506660533025972010-10-24T20:45:52.080-06:002010-10-24T20:45:52.080-06:00If it is difficult, it merely means different tact...If it is difficult, it merely means different tactics must be considered.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-21599617112214562422010-10-24T15:29:27.727-06:002010-10-24T15:29:27.727-06:00Thank you, Khal, John and Eli for running a remark...Thank you, Khal, John and Eli for running a remarkable petition campaign.danchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656663165658142443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-41333548586010613142010-10-24T07:14:19.388-06:002010-10-24T07:14:19.388-06:00Thanks, Khal.
