I disagree completely, Kavouss, but the issue here is that the difficulty stems largely from the silence of the board (not to be mistaken with the silence of the lambs). It is respectful to people and process that, when you have a contrary view or perhaps an alternative suggestion, you elaborate on your position so that others may have the benefit and opportunity to assess said argument/alternative and thereby afforded the opportunity to make one’s own judgement. In this case, the concern being expressed is that we have been deprived of such an opportunity because of the view that the board has not been forthcoming regarding its objections. Even so, the community has been required to process and respond. It is certainly the right and, indeed, responsibility of members and participants to evaluate ALL arguments being proffered. To do otherwise may well be deemed a dereliction of duty.

Dear All, It is not up to us to evaluate the argument of Board as being weak or strong,We may agree or disagree to those statement but not judge them Regards Kavouss 2016-02-23 18:42 GMT+01:00 Jari Arkko <jari.arkko@piuha.net<mailto:jari.arkko@piuha.net>>:
I've been pretty cranky on list about the Board proposal, mostly because I think the arguments so far advanced for it are really weak. But I'm completely in agreement Jordan's note: it is most important to pick an answer and ship the report. In my personal capacity, I'll get behind the decision, whatever it is. Let's choose something and ship.
FWIW, I share Andrew’s thoughts.
