Disclaimer:
I'm not a lawyer, and our bylaws are imprecise.
A sucessful petition, as I read things, says that this board-unanimous
mission proposal cannot be adopted without a vote by the membership.
However the board is not forced to hold such a vote -- that is their
decision.
It is still possible to adopt a new mission without a membership vote.
The board could unanimously consent to a new proposal, and if that
proposal addressed enough concerns, petitioners would not materialize.
The upcoming "round table" discussions may be a place to
shape a new proposal.

In regards to
the recent forum discussions of the controversial revised mission
statement:

appropriate for the maintenance of Ballard’s ‘soft totalitarianism’. I
would urge all to resist such tactics and allow that a general vote
does take place. That seems to me to be the ‘larger dialogue’ that
should take place now.
Kevin Foskin
I'm glad to hear that Foskin is urging everyone to resist the tactics
aptly suited to Ballard's 'soft totalitarianism'. I heartily agree.
Denice Clark was nearly in tears at the March 4 meeting when one
perpetually disgruntled member likened KRFC leadership to Fascism.
There's no need for anything of the sort.
I'm comforted to see that Foskin has come a long way since June 8, 2005
when he wrote: "I will not be
associated with (nor give freely my creative time and effort to) a
group of individuals who are turning this radio station into a
Stalinist camp where no one has the right to voice his or her opinions
as to how this station is run and operated."
