+1 To Darren's comments on this issue. I'm not certain the forum is the best venue either, however since many of us cannot attend monthly meetings I'm not sure what other alternatives exist.

It seems we have an abundance of capable, well-intentioned candidates with agendas (per Chris' info) that apparently share much in common.

As a relative outsider to the inner club politics, the crux of the matter relates to the decision of the nominating committee not to recommend the incumbent slate as has been tradition. I am certain that they were aware of Graham's intent, clearly there is more behind this choice.

That said, because their actions are outside the norm and create suspicion, for the benefit of the club the nominating committee should share the rationale for their decision either here or at the next general meeting.

As an outsider to this I have two reactions -

i) Anyone involved in unethical behavior (past and present) should be gone.
ii) Those involved in this coup d'etat should also be gone because their actions have the effect of rewarding those that behaved unethically - see point #2 in my post above.

As Nixon and Clinton would attest, it's not the action that brings you down, it's the lies and cover-up afterwards that get you.
