Now that you add this "if", I think you have a point. Unless they have particular expertise or want to ramp up their experience for some future involvement or are there as a legitimate proxy because someone cannot attend or are there in an 'honest broker' role, I don't see any need for people who would not benefit from that standard to partipicate or vote. But "corrupt" is still not a synonym for "less than ideal" and unnecessarily provocative. Cheers Rick Jelliffe | ||||||
