And you did not reject it because of your previous commitment to a six-month waiting period, which was voted on unanimously by the Board just 2 and a half weeks earlier. (Kat voted for six months for Board-->Staff, but seems to have rejected Staff-->Board).
I see no reason why any decision for transitions to Board or Staff should not be made on its merits until a specific policy governing such transitions in place. We're in the middle of a relocation and the setup of a new office, and part of Sue's desire to bring me in is to have me help with the orientation of new staff: These goals would be impeded by waiting for 6 months to join.
We are not talking about a complete restriction of such transitions, after all, only about a delay; if the discussion had focused on eliminating even the possibility of Board members joining the staff or vice versa, it would be much more problematic.
