I think we can give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they can do the right thing for the club and the membership. Not difficult at all; the rules were in place prior to the candidates for the position making application...right? It's a non issue. (The rule makes sense, IMO, appearance, conflict, etc. etc.) But basically, if that rule was in place before making application, it's a done deal, move on <G>. Of greater importance, IMO, if this topic wasn't in the minutes and was discussed (even to the point of forming a committee), why the h**l was it left out of the minutes? (Haven't received mine yet, so I'm going by posts from those who have.) That would never fly w/ our regional board. We do go off the record and discuss *nice* things, like special awards/lifetime memberships because we want an opportunity to surprise the recipient, but the above example is IMO something that belongs in the minutes.
