This statement is not wrong, but we need to remember that 1. A board member and a PR representative are not the same thing. 2. An elected unpaid job is not the samething as a hired pay job. When someone volunteers to become a board member, he or she does not get paid enough (if it isn't clear - isn't paid at all!) to give up their personal life. They can continue to have personal interests, personal blogs, and personal political opinions. They can even express them, in any words they choose. The only line we should draw is using the Amuta's resources (our mailing list, conference, money, etc.) for personal agenda - and I don't think this is the case here. It's not like we have have had so many candidates for this job... -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Mar 28 2010, 13 Nisan 5770 n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Thousands of years ago, cats were http://nadav.harel.org.il |worshipped as gods.
