Dear Chair, Thank you very much for this important update. While I applaud efforts by the board in engaging the community, I am curious to understand the rationale behind these interventions. Should they be read as an indication from the board that if feels that the mechanisms already in place, include Open Mics at AGMs and Board Governance Committee are insufficient?
I am asking because my reading of the situation is not that current channels do not exits or are insufficient. Rather, my thinking is that mechanisms to address issues raised using current channels and updating the community is what needs fixing. Based this thinking I would be more welcoming of interventions that provide processes and mechanisms to capture this feedback, track implementation and reporting back to the community. Noah's recommendations are a great place to start.
