<p class="MsoNormal">Oh wow – <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I read this thread – and then I started to laugh – and laugh – and laugh – and laugh – so hard my ribs ached. I am finally in a position to actually type something in response to this.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, as I dry my eyes from laughing so hard – I need to start by saying that everything I say below is written by me personally and these words are in no way to be construed as being representative of any organization or person other than
the author himself.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">See – what was so funny – <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Firstly – a few years ago – the accusations came along these lines for me as well – they were found to be false by a unanimous published board resolution.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now – when people lose – they resort to the same tried and failed tactics. But, since people wanted to have this conversation – I think it’s time we actually have it – and talk openly and honestly.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let us have a conversation about… the OIF…. And the sponsorship year on and year of individuals from one specific demongraphic group.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let us have a conversation about the Brazzaville meeting – when the OIF sponsored delegated met together in a room, with some pretty prominent members of the community to strategize how to defeat a policy they did not like.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let us have a conversation about the OIF delegates who walked to the microphone for 3 meetings running holding slips of paper with pre-written objections – and when those delegates were called back and questioned on what they said – showed
a patently obvious lack of knowledge about the subject matter – they were reading someone elses words.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then – once we have finished talking about the OIF – let us talk about the block voting that occurred in Mauritius to defeat the special resolutions proposed to hand the community back power and – and as a result defeated a series of special
resolutions meant to enhance the corporate governance – with no reason or basis for the votes – believe me – myself and others were clearly watching as people ticked every box one way without ever reading what was on the ballot.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And then – once we finish talking about this – let us now talk about the rules.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="a">
<li class="m_8724506128663044617MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm">The same objection from one person or 100 people still counts as one objection – and if sustained under the definition of rough consensus – has equal weight and will cause the consensus
decision to fail<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_8724506128663044617MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm">I applaud anyone who is passionate enough about policy to spend huge sums of money to put people in the room to bolster their say – that my friends – is called commitment to the cause
– and by the way – is a strategy used in various forms in politics and otherwise since the day the first dictatorship fell<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_8724506128663044617MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm">If it gets people in the room – gets them interested in policy – and gets them motivated to participate – have at it – there is no rule whatsoever to prevent this. If however, people
disagree, I would happily back a policy that required people to declare their sponsors on their badges – and in fact – let’s give every sponsor a different colored badge that is plainly visible – and if we find a participant that was sponsored yet undeclared
– we ban that participant and the sponsor from the meetings for life. Why would I back such a thing? Because I know that the very people who are creating gmail accounts and are two cowardly to use their real names to make such accusations will stand and
oppose any such thing – because any such policy would put an end to their own gravy train.<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But Benji – thank you for the laugh – and everyone who is upset with me and can’t get their hands on me – please be reminded that God is not a substitute legal proxy for suing me – I believe that was made clear in Botswana, wasn’t in Benji?<u></u><u></u></p>
