<p class="MsoNormal">Firstly – my beliefs on the board process and the workings of the board are mine – and my opinions are my opinions – and there is nothing that stops me stating that in my *<b>opinion</b>* things are *<b>deeply</b>* flawed – and that I am
prohibited from clarifying WHY I hope those opinions. The counter argument to what you say is simple – if things ARENT problematic – then waiver the NDA – you should have nothing to hide.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As for my goals – my goals are to ensure that there is proper corporate governance and a board that is accountable to its members – and I openly and honestly believe that is not the case at the moment. I believe – very strongly – that this
board has violated the principles of bottom up approach (Why has an SGMM not been called to solve the quorum problem with the AGMM?) – I believe that this board has failed on multiple counts as regards transparency – both since I left the board and while I
was on it – and again – I am more than happy to back the latter if the board gives me permission to do so – publicly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have absolutely no obligation to communicate via the board – and considering my opinions on the current state of function of the board – zero trust in the effectiveness of that approach if I were to take it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a member organization – and we are meant to operate in an open and transparent manner – part of transparency is the fact that people are free to voice their opinions – and concerns – openly and transparently – without such things
being repressed. <o:p></o:p></p>
