I'm reaching out to share and clarify two concerns that was brought up from some Sudo Room members that occured during SR meeting on Wednesday Dec. 20.

FNB discussion -

(1) Josh attended as "Benny" since it was already on the device he was using and not intended to fake his identity.

(2) Josh made an error when he said "FNB wants to approve PP proposal".

FNB had a meeting right before SR and it wasn't clear to Josh that we were to stand aside the following day. An FNB member changed their mind at the last minute, that also resulted in a member opposing a decision to favor the proposal so hence the stand aside.

There were also concerns that Josh misrepresented EBFNB and more of his personal views during Omni delegates meetings.

I feel it can be difficult to balance since we don't want to misrepresent our collective at the same time voice how we feel as an individual towards an agenda.

I've spoken with Josh, we had a great conversation and from that got an understanding where he's coming from, and where I'm coming from.

We as part of collectives in this space we all share with one another, it'll be better when we all share with one another.

Given the reminder of misrepresent concerns from our own collective, and to help avoid the friction between volunteers from SR and EBFNB that may escalate,

I asked Josh to step down as a delegate for East Bay Food Not Bombs.

Thanks,

Toan
