[atlarge-discuss] Re: [atlarge-panel] elections

[James Love <james.love@cptech.org>]

There is no practical reason why the elections cannot be done before the 90 
days is over. Elizabeth can do the election, and you use the same nomination 
proceedures and mission that existed for the 90 day election.  People who 
want to continue this work will have a year, rather than 3 months, so they 
can act with more deliberation, assuming they are elected.  Given the fact 
that some members of the current "temporary" board are now endorsing the 
elimination of elections, and will be going to Shanghi, I think it is 
important to test their support in an election.

The election muct take place in the last week of July.  Everything else (YJ etc.,) is subordinate to the elections IMO.  This Panel has lost all credibility and achieved nothing.  It's time for elections NOT appointments and

It is not up to the elected members of the steering committee to say I like this guy or not. We can and should not dictate whom we want to have in the committee. Otherwise we would make the same mistakes you are critising so often correctly.
