It would have looked more honest where there were points of disagreement. It would have looked like a Board looking for ways to make our proposal work, rather than excising significant elements. It would have looked like a Board being more specific and explicit about points of concern so that these could be solved, instead of relying on vague characterizations that could not even be identified with enough specificity to work through them. It would have looked like a give-and-take process, not the delivery of a counter-proposal. It would have felt more engaged and less scripted and spun. It would have felt like the Board was seeking understanding, rather than seeking to replace what it did not understand (or understood, but did not like).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Greg</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 5:51 PM, Chris Disspain <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ceo@auda.org.au" target="_blank">ceo@auda.org.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="font-family:'Verdana';font-size:13px;color:rgb(102,102,102)">Hi Greg,<div><br></div><div><span class=""><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">We can choose to treat the Board's intervention as "participation," but it did not have the feeling of participation to me. </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span>So what would participation look like to you?<br><div><br></div><div><div>
