With this action, eight Trustees with little accountability overruled several hundred volunteers and another Trustee who literally earned the most support votes of any Trustee in the organization's history.
Any explanation of the reasons should be commensurate, in my view, to the points outlined above.
James was elected by 1,857 people and removed by eight. I hope an explanation is forthcoming very soon.

This is a somewhat interesting breakdown. I'm also paying close attention to what James posted on this mailing list. In my mind, he's the person likely able to speak most freely about this removal and probably is more familiar with it than most. For now, he seems to have chosen not to say very much. Others involved in the removal likely can't (or maybe won't) say much more, which of course just leaves everyone else to speculate.
