X-Message-Number: 33319 Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 22:26:32 -0600 Subject: CEO at Alcor? No such job, IIRC From: Finance Department <> --001636c5a8a4a1c64a049bd1de29 Alcor's website says: http://alcor.org/AboutAlcor/meetalcorstaff.html This has been brought up from time to time, usually from one person running Alcor to the next. Alcor's bylaws provide for a President, unless its board secretly changed them while we were not looking. They also provide for that person to ALSO fill an "Executive Director" seat, which seemed to be the favorite for Jennifer, Joe and maybe other recent Alcor Presidents I may have forgotten about. That, though, does not mean they are not still the President, as the bylaws do require Alcor to have a President. Alas, no one seems to want to do the job. President. Why? So I have to wonder why the latest one, with the paleotranshumanist name, also shuns using his real title, instead of "Chief ExecutIve Officer"? You can be sure he uses "President" to sign official documents, as other paleoPresidents have been caught at doing. My guess is that it has something to do with Alcor's secretive board wanting to continue to have their fingers as deeply as possible into whomever is running the company, and that their willingness to say "Mr President!" would diminish that control in some regard. But I am willing to hear from them on that and why they do not think Alcor members deserve the right to vote for them. Or perhaps Dr More would be kind enough to tell us why he uses a fictitious title instead of the real one? Is "More" even his real name? He could also explain that anomaly while he is talking with us.
