Ruling on Term Limits for the 2007 Pacifica elections

National Elections Supervisor Ruling on Term Limits for the 2007 Pacifica elections

The following is the official ruling of the National Elections Supervisor regarding how provisions for term limits in the Pacifica Bylaws will affect this year's elections for Local Station Board:

Delegates who were elected to a short term on a Local Station Board in February 2004, then subsequently re-elected to a full term later in 2004:

(a) May run for re-election, but are subject to the term limits currently in the Bylaws. If re-elected, these delegates would be required to vacate their LSB seats no later than 6 years after the date that they first took office.

(b) If vacating office prior to the Elections Close Date in 2009, would be replaced by the alternate next in line from the 2007 election, and if vacating office on or after the Elections Close Date in 2009, would be replaced by the alternate next in line from the 2009 election.

The above ruling is sanctioned by me as National Elections Supervisor for the Pacifica Foundation, effective this date, August 22, 2007.

Casey Peters,
Pacifica National Elections Supervisor (NES)

Friends...

I can't speak to the apparent problems with WBAI, although I've heard plenty.

Also, since I do not know Dan Siegel, it is inappropriate for me make any
comment as to his integrity.

However, I DO know Casey Peters, and I can state with confidence and conviction
that he is absolutely beyond reproach ethically! I have yet to see anyone else
work as diligently or with such integrity as he and his wife have against such
ridiculously vociferous opposition, while still maintaining a genuine dedication
to fairness and honesty in the oversight of the all the recent Pacifica station
elections. It is a thankless job, and I feel that he has coped as well as anyone
could have with some of the agonizing twists and turns of these past elections.

I was present during most of the ballot-counting at KPFA in Berkeley, and
witnessed in person the kind of grief Casey had to start sorting out when
"certain unfortunate realities" began to be alleged about the goings on
within KPFA, in the runup to our elections here in Berkeley. I felt that he
handled the situation well, pondered the necessary follow-through actions,
and has done a good job of addressing those problems.

According to a personal listener/sponsor friend of mine who still lives down
in KPFK-land, there have been similar pains down there, where I used to live
and volunteer.

It's amazing to me that we peaceniks still insist on fighting about everything!

There's much more work to be done to straighten out all the kinks, but steady
progress is being made, even though the issues involved are complex.

Anyway, please dispense with the name-calling, OK? All that does is make people
mad, and certainly doesn't contribute anything toward the "general decorum" of
our proceedings... If you have proof, that's something else altogether, but
mere mudslinging just drags us all down.

Happy New Year!

tom: ...

WBAI is bankrupt. Dan Siegel and Casey Peters of the Pacifica National Board are corrupt. Dan Siegel has been temporarily placed on the Pacifica National board for one month to sabatoge the elections and allow the WBAI, KPFA and Justice and Unity corruption to continue.
