Does every decision, whether about confidentiality in negotiations or new hires (to perform the fundraising that is consistently demanded on this list) need to be quarterbacked by people whose overt qualifications are participating in a mailing list? Credentials aren't required for editing articles, because it makes sense not to. On the other hand, amateur volunteers don't operate multi-million dollar companies on a day to day basis. Chad, Jon, Thomas, others - don't you think it makes sense to stay focused on the big picture and the Board, and trust that until demonstrated otherwise the Foundation has the right people in the right place to make sure it stays afloat? Do we really need to question, at each hire, if the salary is in the budget? Valid criticism on major issues is totally separate from sniping at every single announcement.
