As Paul said, leaving aside any merits of this (there are plenty of other threads going on to discuss that), can we have some brainstorming on the mechanics of how it might work? There have been a few suggestions for ways to essentially "reboot" the board, but I am not familiar enough with the bylaws/AoA to know how we might go about doing it.
Is there *any* mechanism to put a new question to the full membership in the upcoming election, or is it too late for that? I'm assuming we can't postpone the coming election, but could we ask the electorate to vote to hold another election in 3 months? If not, can we come up with some ideas for a way outside the formal AGM structure to essentially poll the full membership that could be seen as a legitimate representation of their wishes? Any other ideas are welcome, or anyone who is more familiar with the AoA, please chime in.
