[Fsfe-uk] Elections, rules failure at first hurdle

[John Seago]

I'll put my hand up for this, I was one of those asked to look at the 
rules, this being due to my long experience of sitting on other peoples 
boards/councils at national level in order to poke my nose into other 
peoples business.

Yes, I did have long experience, and I even sat on one or two rules 
Committees, Chairing one, However I have for the past ten years been in 
constant pain, and thus have absorbed huge quantities of synthetic 
morphine. If I made a balls up, (as is quite likely) I apologise. However 
as the yokel said, if I was going there I wouldn't have started from here. 
Recriminations get nobody anywhere, and getting angry about an existing 
situation is going to alter nothing, someone needs to come up with a form 
of words which address this particular situation, thats why  organisations 
have Rules Committees, to engage in the process of evolving the rules. 
What did everybody expect, that it was going to come right first time?
