"Always do every optional thing" > vs "do only what's actually required" Honestly, if people care about which option is chosen, they should vote for candidates who already support that option, and if there aren't enough of those running they should consider running themselves. IMO it makes no sense to elect a bunch of people who are enthusiastic about option A, and then tell them that they have to run the organization using option B. That seems like a great way to end up having everything done to the minimum requirements, if that. If the general membership want things done a certain way, they ought to elect a board that is enthusiastic about doing things in that manner, that way it actually gets done properly. -- Rich
