[SCCC] Additional link to explanatory message

[Ryan Huggins]

I've also reached out to my section manager to see what, if anything, we can do to voice our dislike of this.  Will inform when I hear anything.

The section on confidentiality is not well defined. In my days on a school board any discussions on policy or debates on budget considerations were not confidential and should not be. Confidentiality was restricted to discussion of personnel issues. The conflict of interest is not well defined. Essentially the the Ethics and Elections Committee has enormous power to determine the eligibility of a potential nominee for a director position. It could blackball any suitably nominated candidate for an undocumented alleged conflict of interest because it didn't like that person's views. The constituency has no recourse. The E and E Committee has the power to call for a censure vote for any director it determines to have an opposing view. It could further go to the point of the director being dismissed from th

I believe there is a hidden agenda in this document to inhibit or hide debate and discussion of pertinent board matters that would be of interest to the membership. This document flies in the face of a membership driven organization. My not so humble comments.
