Subject: [BOARD-L] Southwest/Southcentral CC Rep Ken Short
Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2001 01:55:48 -0400

On the evening of 1 July 2001, Ken Short wrote the Board that he was
resigning from the Advisory Board effective immediately due to the sudden
and tragic death of his 19 year old daughter in a traffic accident earlier
that afternoon.

Notice of this tragedy was sent to various lists and condolences sent to
Ken and his family.

On 20 July 2001, I asked the Board to give him more time to reconsider his
decision. I asked them if he said no-way, then the process of replacement
could begin. I also said if we'd not heard from him one way or the other
by August 31st that the new board could take up the matter.

On 18 August 2001, I heard from Ken, in response to a note to him from some
time earlier, in which he stated that his decision was final AND he asks
that the Board appoint a replacement for him.

On 22 August 2001, I asked the Board to do just that.

In subsequent conversations some members decided to wait until the new
Board was seated, thus ignoring their Bylaws mandated duty.

There were others though, following the Bylaws, that asked that the current
Board appoint - as is their duty, a person to fill the vacancy.

These are the facts in the matter.

Was I wrong in asking the AB to follow the Bylaws mandated rules of
replacement?
