We support a living form of democracy that would be determined by the board, volunteers and members, after open discussions. The board has fought this kind of discussion and removed of the word "democracy" from the mission statement. We feel it is important to not let total power be locked into the hands of just a few. Accountability and checks and balances protect everyone from the few who may decide that only they know what is best for the volunteers, listeners, and members.
Eighty or more grassroots radio stations already use pragmatically participatory democracy, including KBOO, KGNU, WORT, and WERU. KRFC could too.
