In response to Mark Olson's comments...

Mark, I think you are right that a lot of energies have been diverted from
more worthwhile activities over this whole issue.

At the recent national board meetings, Bob Klay, (CIPS Calgary President)
told me that he and Steve Gallinger had a conversation in which Steve
reportedly said, "I don't want to be re-instated, I just want a review".

You make the observation that passing motion 1 would simply reinstate an
untenable position, and you are correct. My conversations with nat. bd.
members leads me to the conclusion that Steve G. brought no policy
proposals or vision to the position. My personal belief (which I've stated
publicly in the past) is that Steve was not prepared for the job, and no
understanding of how a board operates. He's done good volunteer work, but
he's not a board member, and certainly not a  leader. You can't be a loner
in a world where consensus is everything.

I have sympathy for those board members who, having experienced several
months of the VP's behaviour which led us all to this point, declare that
they have no intention of sticking around for more if he is reinstated.
