So, about those OTW board elections...

Someone please, please, please dissuade me from volunteering to help? I need to be looking for full-time gigs, and I'm not sure they could actually pay me enough to sort out the mess.

What is going on exactly? I tried reading about it today and it seemed like a total mess.

I don't claim to have been following super-closely, but as I understand it, there were two board seats up for election. The board then revealed there was a third open seat, which they proceeded to vote to fill with an outgoing board member who had come in last in the elections. (It may also be worth noting that the board member in question voted for this, rather than abstaining.) People protested, and some prominent committee members started pushing for a vote of no confidence. The rest of the board then proceeded to resign, leaving only the two newly elected members. This is being hailed in fandom as a positive development.

So, yeah. Good times.
