And this sentence pretty much explains a common problem around Council- |
37 |
Trustee split. There's a number of people who predate it, and make |
38 |
assumptions based on the past. |
39 |
|
40 |
Building on such assumptions, you can pretty much reach the point that |
41 |
Trustees do everything and Council doesn't even exist. But by omitting |
42 |
later events, you're creating a false vision of the present. |
43 |
|
44 |
What really matters is what Council and Trustees do today. And that is |
45 |
a result of a number of past transformations that go beyond the initial |
46 |
formation of the Council. |
47 |
|
48 |
Back when I was recruited, this was the role of the Council I was |
49 |
taught. If you don't believe it, you are free to research the past to |
50 |
either prove or disprove it. But in order to do that, you need to |
51 |
account fo all past events, not only some of them. |
