[AFS3-std] chairs?

[Kim Kimball]

I'm confused.

If we have rules for ourselves, we should follow them.

If we don't need them, we shouldn't have them.

If they're in the way, which they are, they should either be corrected 
or abandoned.

If there's a call for "is the election legit," I'm personally fine with 
it and have been.

I'm not fine with establishing rules and then discarding them, 
regardless of whether we're an organisation, a small group, a gaggle, 
murder, herd, or flock.

The impression I get is that a few people are going to ratify the 
election because they want to.  Is this also how standards are going to 
be determined?  If so, I'm certainly not going to waste any time or 
effort participating, and that's what I mean by credibility.
