Fun fact I learned lately: Board turnover is so high, no one who has run in a board election has ever not served on the board. Spots come open so frequently that all the election candidates end up, whether elected or appointed when the elected person resigned.

That is... well I used the word "clusterfuck" in another post, and I still can't think of anything more fitting.

I was just wondering about the other candidates from the most recent election - it seems likely that they'll form the core of the new board, I think. I know Matty and Atiya were both reform candidates, but because I haven't been paying membership dues for a while now I didn't read up that much on the non-winning people.

Why isn't there more overlap between committee leadership and the Board? You'd think that would be a sensible way to build a structure that narrowed neatly to the top without siloing.

Ugh what a mess.

Once upon a time, I happened to be on F_W just as Crystalwank was breaking in earnest. Now that I think about it, it would have been right around this time of year, because I was either on or approaching Christmas holiday. Until this evening, I'd never seen anything like it.

wtf?

I mean, I admit I haven't been following this closely because I couldn't afford to donate this year (being laid off sucks), but what?!

WOW. Thanks for the link--I've been following the OTW news off and on at FFA but hadn't gotten to that post yet.
