Subject: Alcor's Board Is Already "Taken Over"

I note with a certain amount of dark amusement, David Pizer's concern
that somehow 5 people could insidiously manage to get themselves onto
Alcor's board of directors, thus forming a majority and taking it over.

It should be as clear as the bright daylight to anyone, that this has
already happened.  Alcor's Board has been taken over by a self-electing
group who, from what I'm told, never ask the Alcor membership what they
think about anything on their agenda, not to mention who have no
inclination whatsoever to abide by what the membership might want.

If Alcor's board of directors wishes to claim otherwise, then let them
give the vote to Alcor members to prove that indeed they have not "taken
over" Alcor.

David Pizer explains very clearly how it was in the earlier years, that
Alcor's board simply did the will of the then-smaller general
membership.  Now that membership is really too large for that scenario to
function, and a voting system is needed to replace it, in order to get
the same level of accountability from the directors.

Until that happens, the situation remains that Alcor is being run by a
small group of self-appointing dictators who feel no need to answer to
anyone, and indeed in most cases do not do so.
