Not going to get into mud slinging with anyone over this election or anything else. I will take the moral high ground. But be sure to read all the replies to Ms.Minella and be sure to read "Tricky Dicky's" reply.
Here is my reply:
It's not some people, it was me, call a spade a spade. I have already admitted that I served on the board previously and I think you exaggerate the many, many, many years (one many would have gotten your point across).
And let’s be clear, I was NOT forced off the board. My term ended, I rolled off the board (END OF STORY). I was on the board when the new by-laws came for a vote of the board and voted yes (I did not abstain nor did I vote no) and I attended the required in-person meeting to vote FOR them.
We need to be clear there always were term limits (one could sit for two three-year terms, roll off the board for one year and then come back if they so desired and were able to be elected). Let’s also be clear on the by-laws. Term limits were not the only item that was being changed, it was one of several things. As with any legal and binding document, it can take time to change things to get the wording proper and ensure that all the T&Cs are correct.
Why did I throw my hat in. I saw diversity in terms of geography (Asia, the UK and India--- excellent) although folks from the rest of EMEA would have been good or even So. America which is very diverse in both languages and cultures, however no diversity in terms of ladies. There are currently four women on board and as of this election, it could potentially go down to two.
Additionally, there were two separate lists issued to members (one via e-mail and another via the web) and unfortunately, the lists differed (sure only by one person but still they differed…..confusing.)
