Re: [ALSC-Forum] Re: [ga] Substance over rhetoric - a constructivechallenge
AFAICT, the MoU requires substantive representation, but not necessarily
elections. Moving context from 1998 to 2002, I think it is obvious to
any would-be At-Large participant that only elections will provide
substantive representation in the face of the entrenched interests on
the Board. c.f., Karl's characterization of NomCom as the "Council of
Orthodoxy."
Personally, I don't see much difference between electoral capture and
capture-via-entrenched-interests-on-the-Board except that the
probability of the former is lower than that of the latter.
