@lpranam , I wish you the strength of constitution, of character and of judgement, to meet the difficult challenges facing the MC - not just in the coming days but through this term; and I also wish you, personally and collectively, success in fleshing out the role of the MC as a robust oversight organ within the TDF - with the BoD learning to keep to the “straight and narrow” so as not to get into trouble with the MC.

I also want to remind you that even though you’re holding the office - we as the trustees who put you there are here to support you - or at least, we’ll try to offer support when and where you need us.

Thanks to you and all the trustees for their support.

If anything I can guarantee I’ll fulfill my duties per the constitution/statutes and put that above any other interests if any.

Previously I have been in a similar situation but I had a sole decision-making position there. I had different ideas than the majority but did what was good for the organization and did everything publically1. Having and respecting all different perspectives is necessary for democracy to function. I think my previous work will speak for itself and my character.
