Re: [IAC++] How AAP should go about the job

For the record, how many of the current WE are elected? This is with
direct regard to an earlier description of running this place
democratically, shaping policy based on inputs here, etc. Also if the
electing was done before the split, does it reflect the consensus now,
seeing as how the splitting factions had considerable following and
many may have joined because of that?

This is not aimed as a criticism, as I fully understand that the list
is going through a difficult time. I also understand that regardless
of the number of members in support or opposition of something,
organizational violations have offered. I base this completely on the
information provided on this forum.

I find it inexplicable that the confusion lasts for so long. Perhaps
the point has become to disagree for many.

With a view to restoring normalcy and enabling productive discussions
instead of repeated rehashes of the same explanations, would it be
possible to add a link to the footer of the list emails with a brief
explanation of the current situation and further repeats of the same
information leading to the same arguments be avoided?

It would be more useful to focus on the country rather than fixate on
some people - either in support or objection.

I am new here, but the emails are rapidly getting very predictable. If
the split results in dysfunction here, then it doesn't matter which
faction took over or who at all is "right" - the list is rendered
useless.
