I am speaking on behalf of the community that edits, the people who donate. The community is getting demotivated and the donor money is getting wasted. And my personal interest is to stop that.
What is CIS's personal interest?
The more bloated the grant, the more money they get through 10% institutional development fee which they can spend anwyay they want.
Higher the salary, the current employees of CIS can pay their bank loans.
Huh, organizations down size, resize, fire employees all the time.
If CIS-A2K employees are worthy of what they are getting paid, they should have no problem finding a better job.
Or, if they are at least 1/10th committed to the movement, they should be able to work under normal salaries too.
If this is too much hassle, I welcome all the employees to quit and serve the movement as volunteers instead of giving sermons for us.
