It might be useful to remind folks that by the Omni
Commons Bylaws, the board can legally act by a majority vote. Not that we should be making
a habit out of that, but it might be a useful option to fall back on if we start to run
out of time to get our tax paperwork done...
Not only that, but we'd already given the finance working group a lot
of leeway and discretion in the past, to the point where I think
*legally* they could have just decided to pay Jenny without asking for
consensus. The fact that they did ask is a good thing, but they didn't
have to.
Which makes the accusations about people "wanting to run a
corporation" really stink. It's a cheap shot. The corporate form is
forced on us by circumstance, and we've been trying hard to run an
anarchist collective simultaneously, in parallel. If anybody really
wanted a hostile takeover, it would have happened by now.
