[HOT] Moving on with the Election

2015-03-23 Thread Mark Cupitt
Dear All

I have sat back over the last few days, as have many members and watched
with interest the different posts from the different parties.

As a Voter, and a potential board member who has to work with the other
people elected to the board, I am very interested in looking toward the
future, not the past, and what the people who may be elected want to
achieve for HOT the NGO, HOT the Volunteer Community, but most importantly,
for the people that we came together to help in the first place.

The email exchanges have almost all focused on the past and only a very few
points. Yes these are important, but also, the future actions of the board
are also just as important. Any open issues will be resolved in the first
month or two. There is still another 10 or 11 months of work ahead and much
to do.

In terms of any issues that have been brought to light, I am absolutely
confident that the membership is capable of electing a board who is able of
deal with what ever needs to be done in the best interests of the
organization and the membership, so lets move on to other business.

I call on all candidates to focus on the positive aspects of what THEY will
do for HOT as an elected board member and provide the voting membership
with the most information on their capabilities, ideas and visions for HOT
in the coming year.

Regards

Hi Mark, 

Our discussions showed that we have little information at this point of the 
election abouth the Board and ED actions over the last year. Their absence in 
the discussion tend to show that they are not ready to share with the members, 
that they dont agree with values of accountability to the membership.

As I expressed before,  actions should be taken to assure that the membership 
can better play his democratic role in the organization.  

To address these problems of accountability, openess, involvement of 
membership, I invite you and others to present to the membership your 
philosophy of management in the organization, how you see that we can have more 
accountability, mechanisisms or directions for the members to play a greater 
role or otherwise why you would prefer status quo.

And surely, you should present any other elements of management of this 
organization that you think are essential to reorient.

regard
  
Pierre
