For the record, such a situation never happened in the past. There have been issues where there was a relatively clear split between two group of divergent opinions, but in those case the resolution wasn't to vote, usually a middle way has been attempted, or (for good or bad) the issue has stalled and no decision was done. For the sake of transparency I will also say that the management of the foundation only employee, our Director Tim Ney, has been the only recurring issue over the years leading to this situation. As a secretary this is a very hard issue, because when this happen I am always blocked between the two conflicting problem of trying to function as openly as possible and the obvious privacy issue that our employee deserves.
