PETITION TO RONALD LINDSAY AND THE BOARD OF CFI
We believe that all of you and all of us are genuinely interested in and concerned with the future of Humanism. We also believe that, as Humanists, we should be able to resolve difficult and divisive issues through negotiation and trust. Therefore we would like to present the following points for discussion:
It is clear from the history of the past two years, and even more
dramatically in the past few months, that we are critical of
the performance of the Mr. Lindsay and the Board of CFI, both at an
organizational level and a personal one. We understand
that both Mr. Lindsay and the Board have acted in the belief they were
doing their best in both regards but as you know from
email correspondence we disagree. It is also clear that the charges and
counter-charges are not in the best interest of the Humanist movement.
We could continue this struggle by communicating our views to the chapter members, donors and the press but realize that this can lead to a kind of internecine warfare which can be seriously detrimental to CFI and will only serve to compound an already difficult financial and organizational problems. We want to avoid that experience if at all possible.
It is in that tone and spirit that we recommend the following:
Historically, CFI has not had a process which would allow for elections
of Board members. We feel this is an opportune time to change the
organizational structure of CFI to a democratic one, one that would
reflect the will and vote of its supporters. We think that this change would greatly encourage present followers of CFI to become more involved and supportive of the organization. It would also signal to the Humanist world and beyond that we are truly a democratic organization.
