Subject: [sudo-discuss] Re: Retaining our executive director

I think we can safely let Jamal go. I really don't see what he is really able 
to do for us, and he seemed mainly interested in banning or sidelining people 
he saw as obstacles, using spurious arguments as justification. More clarity in 
leadership would be a good thing, but eliminating our delegate seems like a 
step backward. I do think we need to institute some kind of governing body, 
like a board, that can make decisions without long, tedious, and 
counterproductive general meetings. It needs to focus on saving the space, or 
if that's not possible, saving the equity built up for the benefit of the 
existing stakeholders.

  For those who don't know - Jamal has set a clear
boundary with us. He is not 
 willing to be ED as long as Eric remains a sudoroom delegate, due to concerns 
 about Eric telling lies about him, treating him with disrespect, and 
 normalizing or tolerating anti-Black attitudes and behaviors.

 I am personally not interested in escalating any conflicts with Eric. I do 
 have concerns as well about Eric's ability to navigate power differentials or 
 represent marginalized members. I voted against him last week, but I didn't 
 block because I think saving Omni will require us to focus on bigger things. 
 But now he's become a direct obstacle. I think that it would be best for Omni 
 if we honor Jamal's boundary and ask Eric to step down as delegate.
