4.5 Shady Dealings

I left the Sudo Room meeting at about 9:00, and we had gone through most of the meeting items and had already discussed most of what was on 5.0. I was then surprised to see in the minutes the next morning that there was a 4.5 Consensus vote called after I had left to determine who the sole founder of the Sudo Room IRC chat would be. I was not surprised to find out that Marc had taken the opportunity to retroactively put an agenda item for the meeting until there were only 8 people left in the meeting. This is what I call bad faith. Doing things deceptively in secret in order to avoid accountability. Making sure that only the people who will necessarily agree with you or can be guilted/bullied into not objecting is really super shady. I don't think this kind of thing belongs at Sudo Room. After a continued record of abuse of power, and during the week when we're trying to figure out about the Board and incorporation, for Marc to try and slip this under everyone's noses is really lame. Why did this have to be decided this week? Why does Marc have to be the only option for sole founder? Perhaps we can find someone less controversial and with a better record of respecting the community will rather than individual control over our communications.

I have since been informed by Matt that it was he who had nominated Marc. Apologies for the error above. Though it changes the degree of audacity, I still think that Marc should have declined being sole owner and offer it as a job to someone else.
