Hi all -

I don't know enough here to express a strong opinion, but as a one-time
"expensive management consulting dude" one thing that folks should keep
in mind is that organizational governance should always be looked at as
an organic whole.  There is no one-size-fits-all way to do it, and any
consultant who sells that snake oil is poorly serving their clients.

It is very common for boards to be elected by all the shareholders or
members of an organization -- that's actually true of every board I have
or do serve on.  In a sense that makes it less important for individual
shareholders or members to know precisely who is doing what on the board;
if the majority of the members don't like what the board is doing, they
can just unelect the whole board and try again.

The ARRL has a slightly unusual governance structure in that every director
is elected by a different subset of the members.  None of us members have
the ability to say, "Screw this, let's fire the whole Board and try again."
All any one of us members can do is vote to change our specific division
representative.

Given that, it becomes more important for the voting membership to know who
is doing what on the BoD.  It might be counterproductive for me to say, "I
don't like what the BoD is doing this year, so I'm gonna vote against N6AA."

FWIW, if we're gonna make it hard for the ARRL members to know which Board
member is doing what, we probably ought to discard the whole geographic
organization of the BoD and make the whole Board accountable to the entirety
of the membership.  Or something ...  ;)
