Susan, and the others who DID apply, did it in spite of the rule. As far as I know, Susan did not ask for the rule to be waived; she has not appealed to the list; does not have a vote to change any rules; and was not part of the original negotiations where the rule was put in place. As a matter of fact, from what has been posted, I'm not sure the Board was seriously considering anything more than a change in wording - but now that it has been so prominently thrown out for public scrutiny I think they do need to reevaluate whether it is needed, and whether it should apply to Susan and any future candidates. ============================================================= This is a resend to the list to separate my comments from the original........ There was a motion after selection of the editor to remove all the restrictions from the P&P manual to allow this applicant to continue showing. It was not a "wording" issue in my perception. As many have stated, and again, I do feel wording changes or P&P procedures should have been changed prior to accepting applications for the position, not after. I have never met Susan and this is certainly nothing personal. I have no issue with her being offered the position, and congratulate her on her successful application.
