[IAEP] [SLOBS] Urgent Motion: To add three contributors into the membership/election committee

[Samson Goddy]

Since we are in the spirit of Openness i will like to express my feelings.

First, i will like to thank you for the support and time "you" have spent
in making the timetable for this election.  I highlighted "you" in that
sentence, because over 70% of discussion made from the membership/election
committee are all from you. Maybe ignacio(please confirm) that if you mail
him privately but certainly not with me which i believe as a committee we
should make decision together.

So the "we" is more of "i".

The only thing i was aware of was the email verification, which you came up
with and i agreed, with ignacio doing the technical part of the email
project.

Apart from that, i want to share with the committee that apart from the
verification of member which i was part of (sort of) and agreeing that
Laura should be our liaison person. My opinion and that of ignacio was not
seek (Both members of the election) ignacio again could you confirm this
statement?. Every other thing apart from these two decisions were all made
my laura.

Secondly, laura didn't go against the rules she have been trying to make in
this community by doing things the right way, she also went against the
rule of been in a "committee".

Well, she might be doing for some other reason. But since she used the word
"*controversial as it is a personal closed selection*" to this motion, i
also want to use her words against her by saying that, laura is has been
the one making decision and according to this wiki
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2017-2019-candidates "Sebastian
is father to two precious children that are being homeschooled in
collaboration with his dear wife and co-creator Laura Vargas." and with the
recent activities going on, who is more controversial. (Sorry Sebastian for
using you as a reference, i am trying to make a point).

Laura is connected (by marriage) to one of the candidate running for this
year's election and with the recent attacks on ignacio's travel. Ignacio
publicly stated that he is no longer motivated to handle anything
leadership(SLOBS/Membership) but he will be primary focus on development.
So with this statement, it is more of Laura and Samson than Laura, Samson
and Ignacio in the committee.

Also about reference for this motion, i clearly stated that i will bring up
a motion for addition of members in the membership committee starting with
ibiam. Laura even mention i make motion for it [1] and it got 4 votes.

I have been in the committee for almost 3 years now [2]. Conducted the last
two election, abstain from one as i was running for SLOB and now i am back
in the committee but now SLOB.

Thirdly, as a member of the membership committee for almost 3 years now, i
will requesting Laura shouldn't receive votes or count them without other
committee members involved.

Samson
