When members of the board start commenting on board matters they are the ones that have pierced board confidentiality. Releasing the actual emails shows the truth of what happened rather letting people fill the spaces with conjecture. Lots of legal cases to support my interpretation. At this point I am free to release anything as pertains to Hal Bond and this situation without ethical concerns. You can't pretend that I did not proceed with board knowledge and demand I meekly accept my fate while people continue to spin what actually happened.
You're the chair who keeps this house on a fire.
But, one point -- there was no vote on the Diana Tsypina's application what so ever. The discussion was still going on when Hal Bond resigned and even afterwords. You were shooting down requests for outside evaluation of the application. You've submitted the application without putting the question to directors to vote on. And now you're writing that the board voted. Nope, it did not.
Directors' opinions on the matter not equals their votes on the resolution. The properly passed resolution binds all directors unless the dissent is submitted by the director voting against.

One manipulation... one misleading information... another manipulation. Enough is enough.
My motion was submitted on March 2nd, and the Special Meeting could have happened already, many months before the AGM, however, to quote Fred McKim:
"It was the choice of the Executive not to help the members, by discussing the deficiencies with them. While I don't support the removal of the President, at the time of our meeting I was disappointed with how we handled this, as it simply seemed to be throwing up roadblocks/technicalities to fully resolving this and begin a healing process."
The issue of electing a new FIDE Representative was deemed to be an urgent, important issue. As well, we have elected Patricia Gamliel and enlarged the executive by one person, instead of waiting for the AGM. Surely, you would agree that the issue of the President's behaviour and troubles with following the law are just as, if not more important, to deal with urgently without waiting for the AGM (and not at all irrelevant).
