Glen Owen "producer" of CascasiaPublicRadio series on radio4all.net as well as, on occasion, via archive.org, is a candidate for the KBOO Board of Directors election whose ballot submission closes 3pm Sunday Sept 30th
Candidate asks WHY KBOOs entrenched owner and managers cannot, or will not, deliver ALL of KBOOs news and public affairs broadcasts on the web, in a format accessible by dialup, on a prompt daily basis.
Candidate also questions the motives of a Board that wants the power to make "minor" and "technical" amendments to the bylaws without prior referendum by membership; while also appointing the Board itself to determine which amendments are "material"
Glen the Candidate pledges to continue this public service of news and public affairs availability on a timely basis via radio4all.net through the closing of balloting Sep 30th; and if elected to further continue this service until such time as he should assume office as a Director
At that time, if elected, he will propose that KBOO Foudation take over responsibility for this web archiving service for its listenership at large, as well as for its contributing members
That would mean that Official KBOO, with its twelve Directors, elected by a process wherein chain of custody of election ballots has historically been in doubt (viz 2005 election), with its ten paid staff, and with four hundred volunteers, should deliver complete broadcast AND PODCAST service to its potential listening community according to KBOO charter :::
