Then explain why no action has been taken in months regarding a bank |
9 |
account. He might have been active in past years. But presently he is |
10 |
MIA. He has the lowest meeting attendance. No participation in ByLaws. |
11 |
Not fulfilling a single treasurer duty. Short of arranging a few minor |
12 |
payments. |
13 |
|
14 |
He was supposedly account for donations and was supposed to present |
15 |
something there months ago. I am sick of months going by and nothing |
16 |
happening. We are over half way into our terms, yet have only |
17 |
accomplished one goal. Reinstatement, which we did in March. |
18 |
|
19 |
What have we accomplished since March? ByLaws means nothing if the IRS |
20 |
revokes our NPO status. I am sick of people ignoring major tasks that |
21 |
need to be done yesterday. |
22 |

I have watched Joshua not do anything for months. I have no confidence |
24 |
in him going forward as a treasurer. Based 100% on his inaction. I don't |
25 |
care what he has done for Gentoo in the past. Today he is harming it by |
26 |
not completing necessary tasks. Nor being professional enough to |
27 |
recognize he lacks the time, and to pass it on to another. |
28 |
|
29 |
I have 0 tolerance for inaction. More so when I am bearing the weight of |
30 |
that inaction. Had Joshua done the bank leg work, I would feel |
31 |
different. But I did all the hard work. All that is needed now is ~30 |
32 |
minutes if that. Which he clearly does not have. |
33 |
|
34 |
Plus we still have tons of work once a bank account is opened. Like |
35 |
getting ~$40k or so form our old bank account. Might be only $20k or |
36 |
$30k but still. |
37 |
|
38 |
Or I can resign with Tom, and let others deal with the inaction. I am |
39 |
really sick of it all. If others want to wait on Joshua that's their |
40 |
call. But he has shown he does not give a crap for months now. |
41 |
|
42 |
We find and or make time for things that are priorities to us. Being |
43 |
busy at work is not a reason, that is an excuse. Plus if that's the |
44 |
case, resign. |
45 |
|
46 |
I am done on this topic. I will put forth a motion for a vote. If it's |
47 |
passed great. If not well not sure what then. But I have no interest in |
48 |
manning a sinking ship. |
