The various views expressed all have some merit. This is not clear cut but to be honest I don't think it will make a jot of difference whether these amendments succeed or not. I fear we have a dysfunctional Board partly due to there own mismanagement but hugely impacted by such vociferous criticism mounted by a few unelected members that have taken it upon themselves to hold the Board to account. Whilst this may seem reasonable, the net effect has been to have an embattled Board more focused on dealing with their critics than focussing on sorting out the problems. I fundamentally believe that in the majority of cases, Board members get involved for the right reasons. But the barrage of disparate criticism is actually not helping resolve the issues. I would prefer that the Board be given some space to get on with sorting out the real issues and problems facing RAAus rather than spending an inordinate amount of energy dealing with their critics and the bad press they are generating.
