Anthony Towns's rebuttal to Branden Robinson looks partly false. It mentions "Branden's demotion to deputy-treasurer under Jimmy Kaplowitz" about SPI.
It looks from http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/resolution-2004-01-06.jrk.1.br.1 and http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/minutes/20040907 that there was 8 months between Branden quitting as treasurer and being named as deputy. It even looks like SPI acting on the suggestion by Branden at the 2003 AGM to get more help handling finances, albeit this was another volunteer rather than a hired accountant. I think it's fair to say that Branden was part of the SPI board which oversaw the donation loss. He's also part of the board working to fix it. The above suggests that he was somehow tried and punished by SPI, which I didn't spot evidence for. As already mentioned on-list, I've been looking at SPI recently. I don't know all the history, but the "demotion" claim seems contradicted by the records. I could be wrong: can Anthony Towns support his allegation against Branden? I know Anthony Towns's debian record is laid out in his platform and mostly easy to verify. What non-profit groups besides debian has Anthony Towns got experience of, particularly ones handling money themselves? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only: see http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Subscribed to this list.
