[registrars] Boardroom mailing list

[Michael D. Palage]

Bob:

I cannot say what voting rights I have as Rick has had sole and exclusive
control of this function since I stepped down last year as Chair.

Originally, I had one voting account and one administrative account as Chair
as designated by the Kavi software. Based upon Rick's continued veiled
allegations that I have acted inappropriately, I believe he has a duty to
invest the time and effort to document how I have voted over the last two
years. I believe he will find that I have not voted on any issue over the
last two years. As a general matter, as Chair I tried not to vote on an
issue unless there was a tie. Although I cannot guarantee that I have never
voted on an issue over the last two years, I can guarantee you that I have
never acted inappropriately. Moreover, given the fact that the results are
public, I am sure that if I had acted in appropriately this would have been
called to someone's attention previously :-)

I am at a lose for words as to Rick's motivation or intention. In the
interest of defending my reputation, I would request that any posts and or
replies to Rick's posted via the Registrar ExCom list be made public so that
I can take appropriate actions.

Best regards,

Michael D. Palage

Dear Members:

An interesting interchange on today's List suggests that Mike Palage may
have voting rights in Boardrooms.org for two different registrars.

Rick Wesson, as CTO of the RC, knows a lot more about the system than do
I.  However, I have downloaded the complete list and I find only one
listing for Mike Palage and that is with the Email address
michael at palage.com.

I have attached the full list.  It shows 50 voting members.  I sorted on
column D, a Yes in that column implies voting member.  There are an
additional 42 on the list for non voting members.

Perhaps Rick has other knowledge, he alone is shown as administrator though
all elected members of Excom have some degree of administrative access.

Regards, BobC
