Anyone can be on the ballot by following the\nrules of nomination. If you feel strongly about all this, change comes from\nwithin. I think you should personally attend one of the BOD meetings and/or\na membership meeting as is held at the Symposium on a yearly basis. There,\nyou can bring this up and have a more interested audience.\nThere are no \"secret\" happenings - it is all out in the open. Besides having\nyour ideas heard, you can meet the players in the organization face to face\nand develop friends who feel similar to how you do, as well as finding out\nwhy opposition exists.\nAs Tim, N3TL, points out, now is not the time to bring this up.\nHope to see you in Maryland.\n73,\nDee, NB2F\nP.S. All the nominees are hard workers and deserve credit just for asking to\ndo more for \"FREE.\"\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Timothy J. Salo\nSent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 4:41 PM\nTo: [email protected]\nCc: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] BoD Elections\n\nHi,\n\nI still haven't returned my ballot for the AMSAT Board of Directors\nelection, in part because I don't feel that I have really good information\non which to make a decision.\nI would like to vote for a Board that will be effective and strengthen the\norganization. It is particularly important to select the best possible\nboard because, in my view, AMSAT is an organization in serious trouble.\nBut, I would prefer to base my vote on the recent accomplishments, recent\npositions during board meetings, and explicit near-term objectives of the\ncandidates. I would prefer to not simply use a blunt strategy of voting\nagainst all incumbents and for all challengers. Unfortunately, I don't feel\nthat I really know much about the activities of the individual board\nmembers.\n\nTo remedy this, I suggest that the close of the BoD elections be postponed\nuntil at least thirty days after the following have been published:\n\no A list of all Board meetings held over the last year o Minutes from all of\nthese Board meetings o Minutes from all AMSAT committee meetings of the last\nyear\n\nWe can certainly have a discussion about the appropriate level of\ntransparency for the Board and its committees, and whether the Board is\nmeeting those objectives. Here is what the D.C. statutes under which AMSAT\nis incorporated have to say on the matter:\n\n Each corporation shall keep correct and complete books and\n records of account and shall keep minutes of the proceedings\n of its members, board of directors, and committees having any\n of the authority of the board of directors; ... All books and\n records of a corporation may be inspected by any member having\n voting rights, or his agent or attorney, for any proper purpose\n at any reasonable time.\n\n-tjs\n\n\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
