Thanks Natacha. I see that 70 members have requested a General Assembly to be held. I remember from WMFR's bylaws that 25% of the membership can force the board to call a General Assembly, or do it themselves. Is this request formulated in such a manner? What is the required threshold?
This is a terribly sad situation WMFR finds itself in. There are no winners, and trying to continue this struggle can only create bigger losses on all sides. I hope an assembly can be held soon, and that a democratic decision can be prepared there, where the membership can give its trust to a board - either providing the current board (with a majority of board-appointed members, if I understand correctly) with the much needed moral authority, or by electing a new board that can start afresh. This is why we have always put so much emphasis on having democratic chapters where the members can in the end intervene.
