I'm not going to ask your permission to make suggestions to improve the process, and I really don't need you blessing. I absolutely do not need a lecture about taking personal responsibility. I live it. What I proposed does not make excuses for people who do not send bios. It merely puts some responsibility on the process to help to insure that everyone's bio is on the ballot. I think you are deliberately missing the point. The "process" is inanimate, and therefore has no responsibility. If folks feel it's important to send a bio, they will, on time and in the correct (100 word) format. Those are the rules in place, we don't need more rules, we don't need to make anything complicated, and you did mention "fines" for non-compliance in your original post. How silly! If those running or looking to judge send a bio in, super; If not, oh well. Sharon is too nice by far. I'd have sent Wayne's back with a cover letter explaining he was 10 days late. If any bios arrived that were too long, I'd have sent them back too. I don't know of a word processing program that doesn't have work count as a feature, and for those who would rather count the old fashioned way, if they can't count to one hundred, I suspect the responsibilities of being on a board would be incomprehensible. But, like I said, I think you're deliberately missing the point, and/or playing stupid to continue the debate. If in fact you do live "taking responsibility", the concept of following rules or suffering consequences shouldn't be foreign, and I'm surprised you'd try to make the argument for even more rules. What nonsense!
