Isn't Kevin Rye one of his proposers I might be wrong but recall someone had to ask for their proposers to be updated as was listed with previous election proposers so was either Martin or Alex and Kevin Rye was 1 of the names

Gary D has made a statement on Discord about hustings. They haven't been paused they've been cancelled.

So it’s official - hustings cancelled

Who proposed him? 🤣

None of them make me want to vote. Martin's manifesto is full of blah blah as usual.

Even if I was voting for Martin/TBK I wouldn't be now as can't believe how brazen he has been with ignoring a genuine question as can't say not read it when clearly replying to a post that was posted after the initial question and before follow up's. Just acknowledge the question if can't or would rather not answer just say so

I don’t think it’s a secret that the official hustings are on hold. I understand necessary secrets (HR), not the biggest fan of unnecessary ones (obfuscation etc.) Happy to participate in unofficial hustings.

WJ no i don't but thanks for trying

SwinDon, glad you got a prompt sensible reply. Suspect it's what WJ says. It shows differently on my laptop to my mobile but never noticed that before.

Nothing in the constitution which gives the Chair power to tell board members to stay silent or resign.

Swin, I'll assume you have 'dark mode' enabled. This overrides default black/white with the opposite, and would explain the problems you have with these emails.

We would all like an answer to Shane's question, I imagine, TBK.

Oh, WAWF has made the OS - please share it about - 1,000 of us in here popping in £1/week soon adds up and could help our play-off push :) [Link]

OI - just as a matter of personal pride, i don't think there's much to be achieved by blowing smoke up bottoms or asking puff questions. I've not run them past anyone and don't intend to show them to candidates in advance. On the flip side, I'd try to be fair and won't be going Paxman by any means. I think a live hustings with all candidates would have the potential to be very informative (but could also be very repetitive and dull). Would need a good Robin Day to helm it imho

Although I don't have a problem in reading the moral in here.

TBK I have had a reply. Apparently the emails are always sent in white text on a blue background, but depending on the operating device the email is opened on it can override the colours that are picked from our team unfortunately.

Well I hope Doobs is challenging with the questions as this does seem to be part of the key issues in terms of respect to the membership.

It’s a fair question TBK.

Reminds me of the Borg, think like the collective

He’s obviously been told not to talk to you Shane.

Constitution works both ways. Rule 121 is in the constitution and has not been applied. ESG creating election rules is not in the constitution and has somehow been allowed to bring us to this point.

SwinDon, don't think that's a reply-able one. I'd use tickets@ if it's about tickets or debentures emails.

What say you Martin? As a board member and a nominee. Do you think the elections should be paused while things are sorted out?

OI - info was due to be shared once all candidates had confirmed availability, with the intention to get them online by the 22nd iirc. Most candidates were booked in (iirc) but then almost in the next breath a few things shifted, and the question of an uncontested election came into play. People (for understandable reasons imho) dropped out. as for questions, the idea was to broadly follow last year's format - same questions to all, but without them seeing them beforehand etc. i hadnt planned to run them by anyone but had hoped they would be challenging but fair iswim.

Information vacuum is never good
