Elections

[George Goodwin]

I agree, we are wasting time.  The interim board is only for 
incorporation not permanent.


>I am perplexed by all this wishy washy behavior. There was a general
meeting, 30 or more people discussed the election process for over a half
an hour. There was a call for candidates, people were nominated, they
were given an opportunity to accept or decline the nomination. A menu was
created on SCN with a forum to discuss the election and to offer a Q & A
for the membership to question the candidates. 
One person voices a serious doubt about the timing and procedure of the 
election and suddenly the whole thing looks like it may be scraped.  
>This is not how organizations flourish, when you start a process like 
this with the apparent approval of the SCN organization, it should be 
seen through to the end. Maybe there were some mistakes made in planning and
implementing this election, we can live with our mistakes. Luckly this
is a virtual board that will be replaced or augmented in the near future.
>There needs to be some consistency here, when we say we are going to
do something, we should do it. All this second guessing, "Monday Morning
Quarterbacking" is only going to make matters worse. 
>Lets use this
election as a primer on how to and how not to do our next more important
election. 
>..Tom Spark
