[ncdnhc-discuss] Emergency Resolution

[Alejandro Pisanty - DGSCA y FQ, UNAM]

Harold,

will you be a proactive, consensus-seeking NAmes Council represetnative?

Will you be wise, considerate, and thoughtful? Which could entail allowing
yourself a learning period.

Will you be reactive, as this proposed resolution shows?

The risk would be that the constituency is out of tune and finds itself,
as has happened, in a blind alley, proudly voting on resolutions that will
have little or no success, in a predictable manner. This "self-engineered
frustration" seems to be a poor tactic, and is part of acomplex by which
we have lost valuable members, credibility, and - a very important factor
- representativity.
