Unfortunately I have to. I will attempt to explain my reason as best i can. Firstly, those members on the board, even on the interim board will be handling membership forms/details. There will be members joining,of a young age and I would not be happy with someone who hadn't had a check preformed on them, handling such information.
I agree, but I think the board can make that decision (really, it's their decision at the end of the day anyway, anything we decide now is pretty much advisory - the board are the ones liable if it all goes wrong, so they have to be able to make the decisions as they see fit).
Secondly, it would create more work to have to change the details of the director mid way through the process. We all saw the issues with trying to get details updated. I would rather have this cleared up now before the election than when we are trying to push through incorporation.
That's why I said they should make the decision sooner rather than later, ie. before incorporation. That way they can just take person number 6 and carry on. I really don't see the point in trying to decide now because the election will decide for us (the only way he could win is if people don't think it matters, in which case we won't get a consensus to disqualify him).
