The whole process of James sacking from and by the Board is disturbing to many of us. At this point there are many who have too much to say. The frantic nature of condemnations, extrapolations, mutterings and irrelevant "me too"-ism means that this forum is too tightly bound to too few.. If you have nothing of true and clear added value, then maybe you should be silent. You should consider whether others really need to hear your opinion (yet again).
Some of you need to learn to shut up, listen, and patiently wait. Others should be given the opinion to talk in whichever part of the world and the time zones they exist.
This matter will take time to resolve, and it needs information from the Board, and they need to understand that this requires them to communicate, and continue to communicate. That everyone fills that void with noise is not helpful in my opinion.
Regards, Billinghurst P.S. Any snide comments, head-butts, etc. should be sent to me directly not via the list.
Yes, please slow down the conversation and reduce the alarmist tones ....

Billing -
I hope some of my earlier contributions were, well, contributions, since I do have fairly extensive training in the governance requirements of CA-based non-profits - which certainly aren't Florida-based nonprofits, but definitely share some similarities. One of the things that has concerned me is the public words of board members have pretty much entirely stressed a hope to move past this smoothly, rather than a desire to instigate even the sort of external review that the IEP resulted in. One thing that would make me pretty much shut up about the matter instantly is if, preferably the BoT as a whole, but even an individual board member, voiced a strong opinion/desire/committment to try to ensure that events that have transpired so far are subject to an outside review by a group without previous strong connections to the WMF that has a strong familiarity with Florida NPO governance, and is as transparent as possible.
Best, KG
