Lack of leadership by this Board has so crippled the membership's faith in
the Board's ability to lead that a call for election volunteers yielded a
mere handful of members willing to help with elections.

A simple request for clarification requiring a prompt, timely response was
ignored by the NC, who was apparently more interested in obtaining
confidential nomination information and has been too busy in IRC chat rooms
furthering his own reelection bid to tend the business at hand. My request
was ignored or summarily dismissed as unnecessary by other board members, and
Jim felt it necessary to ask his constituents what he should do before
committing himself to having an opinion. After three days of delaying
tactics, it is now a dead issue and the problem is past the necessity of any
ruling as it is now beyond the point of correction.

It has become increasingly obvious that while the Board was more than willing
to appoint me to this chairmanship, they are unwilling to support the
Committee and the Chair in a timely enough manner to allow it to function
effectively and properly. My suggestion this evening that we follow
Parliamentary Procedure as required by the Bylaws was met with profane and
uncalled-for remarks by Joe Zsedeny.

I refuse to submit to further verbal attacks and cannot function effectively
under these conditions, therefore I tender my immediate resignation as
Chairman of the Elections Committee.

In other words, fellow Board members, you have created this situation so now
you can figure out how to fix it.
