Wasn't that the Board opinion after the last election? There are no fake news! That is the reality and you have lost 2 Board Members because you are staying behind the discrimination of different groups of people in the community.
I am very surprised and concerned by what emerged from the thread. I am truly concerned that someone felt the need to comment anonymously: this should never happen in a community that aims to be open and inclusive. I think it is necessary to ask why this has become necessary. As a proud community member part of the board, and I think I can speak for the other colleagues on the board as well, I ask everyone to speak freely, and to express directly. Being on the board also means listening to constructive criticisms and educated opinions. Another thing that worries me, and that personally offends me, is that someone may think that the board can implement any form of discrimination; During these years both I and the communities with which I have had the pleasure and the honor of collaborating, we have committed ourselves to actively fight any form of discrimination of any kind. For the sake of this community, I invite anyone with reasons to feel discriminated against to come forward without fear and to share their experience with us. I want to express maximum openness in this regard. At the same time, however, I am urged to suggest not to use the term "discrimination" for things that have nothing to do with it. This is a serious problem, and using this term improperly risks undermining the work of all those who are committed to actively fighting it. This does not mean that, in a difficult period like the one we are facing, something may have slipped out of sight; I invite anyone involved in this story to express their opinion (eg Marketing Team) so that we can provide clarifications and explanations on what has been done so far.I am of the opinion that a discussion, even hard, but open, is far more useful and productive than having hidden "snipers" ready to shoot in the back.
