Would be pretty unprofessional of me to give out details, but I will say they have seriously got their wires crossed and referred to items that I have never requested or suggested.
It really was very confusing, I replied immediately and had hoped to see something on the BOD agenda about it, i assume they require a board meeting before responding to me with a factually correct letter, but they seem to have missed their own deadline for posting this info up. |

The board will shape proposals to change Bylaws for member vote, but that's all. One of the hot topics at tonight's board meeting is how to divide our membership up regionally for regional representatives on the board. This was generated from the members' concensus vote last January. |

I would support the change in KCBS that would require some Board Members to be elected by regions Yes - I support this statement receives 1935 votes, 74.68% of the total. No - I do not support this statement receives 453 votes, 17.48% of the total. Make no selection. receives 203 votes, 7.83% of the total. And for what it's worth, I know what's done is done and can't be undone but I'm of the opinion that the wording on this particular poll question was a bit unfortunate. It seems to me that the spirit of the question was to gauge the membership's opinion on the need for regional representation on the board, but the way it was worded presumes that the solution to that representation is through direct board membership. If that is the solution that is ultimately put in place, it could potentially open a can of worms if someone is elected mainly due to their mailing address and not necessarily because of their qualifications. I believe a much better solution would be the formation of a committee made up of members from each region dedicated to gathering input and intel from their respective areas and injecting those findings in to all BoD decisions that are relevant. The wording of the question however eliminates this as a possibility and it appears that a decision was already made for a solution before the need was even confirmed.

Liking to do something and knowing how to do it are two totally separate things.

I think the fears about regional representation are misplaced. Does anyone really think any regional board seat would go unopposed? Look at the number of candidates running this year without regional representation. For regional representation, I bet you would bring out a lot more candidates, especially outside the Midwest, since they know they won't have to compete with the inherent advantage some candidates enjoy due to their geographic location. I admire Steve and Jeff and will likely vote for them, but this idea of using a committee composed of people from different regions is an empty gesture. If you think it is easy to alienate a board member, imagine how much easier it is to ignore a committee. "No report", anyone? Split the country in to 5 regions (Northeast, Southeast, Northern Midwest, Southern Midwest and Pacific) and have a regional rep from each, plus 4 at large seats. I'll feel a lot better knowing that there will always be at least one voice from my geographic area on the Board.

If you hang a line out there and someone bites, which was your intention...
