James, Thank you for framing the issue. In the absence of any alternative claim, let me respond to the "trust" issue.
"Trust" is not a thing in itself. One person trusts another with a certain responsibility, or to accomplish a certain task. An unqualified "I trust you" is generally the kind of thing uttered only in marriage ceremonies. So, there are several kinds of trust I am now thinking about, and I hope to hear from other Board members: * Do they mistrust your integrity? (If so, they should say so, even if the law or their duties prevent them from saying more.) * Do they mistrust your commitment to our shared mission and vision, and what's left of our strategy? (Same -- they should say as much) * Do they mistrust your willingness to rubber-stamp votes that other Trustees support? (If that is the reason, that would be a horrible miscarriage of their responsibility, and my own trust in the Board's ability to carry out its duties would be seriously shaken) I also look forward to hearing much more substance from the Board. While I agree that too much haste would be a bad thing, that principle only goes so far. I will be measuring the time in hours, not days. -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] On Mon, Dec 28, 2015 at 5:39 PM, James Heilman <jmh...@gmail.com> wrote: > As Patricio stated the "Board has a responsibility to ... ensure that the > Board functions with *mutual confidence*" > > My fellow trustees need no reason beyond lack of trust in me to justify my > removal.
