    1. [GAGEN] Why Vote
    2. Derek Nichols
    3. There are a number of things that I believe need to be corrected in this post. I'd actually like to see Leadership do it, but I'll step up to the plate incase they don't/won't. Margie said: > Had they looked at the complaints independently or at all they would > have thrown them all out. Instead we have some AB members that desire > to work around the bylaws. There are no requirements within the USGenWeb Bylaws that say one must go through a Grievance Process. The Right to Recall is in our ByLaws with no stipulations on previously met conditions. > I WILL NOT VOTE IN THIS KANGAROO COURT called an election. This Vote is NOT an Election. It's a vote to determine if a Majority of 2/3 wishes to Recall the SC. An election for a new SC, which the current SC could run in should he choose so, would follow should the Recall succeed. > That is my right. I will not be a part to the injustice that is being > done here. You have the right not to vote and to state such. I think it's improper and a conflict of interest for the person being Recalled to be stating that if people don't vote the Recall will fail for a lack of quorom. > This matter was placed before the AB and it failed to meet a quorum. > The Bylaws state that this action could not be brought again for 6 > months. The complaints were withdrawn and immediately filed again. > This time the AB decided that since the vote failed to meet a quorum > that it never happened. Well it did happen. The AB then tried to not > use the current voters list but use the one from last fall, a motion > was even placed to change the rules altogether. The Bylaws make no such statement of 6 months wait. That 6 months wait was in a Board Motion passed AFTER the petition was filed. Should motions be forced retroactively? I'm quite sure none of us approve of that. I ask people to please vote. I don't care how you vote, but let's not let this issue continue to burn in the background because there was no resolution due to a lack of quorom. In order to move forward and get over this, GA needs a yes or a no vote, and not lingering doubts of which way the vote may have gone and who was and wasn't right. Derek Nichols Echols County, GA
