The fundamental problem, in my opinion, is that the issue of age and health should have been openly discussed several months before the nominations came up.
But it looks like all political activity seems to have taken place hush-hush for quite some time (looks like going back to December 2005) and the nominations came on us as a surprise, when Section Secretaries tried to intervene and support one of the candidates with information which was not supported by professional opinion.
The miscalculation on those working on nominations seems to be that every thing would be kept hidden from members, as in the past, that the members will blindly believe what was disclosed to them by their leaders. In the calculations, the presence of Internet and the world-wide communication was overlooked. It is not surprising to me because I do not think anyone in the top really understands Internet except in a very limited way. Internet puts all actions under bright sunlight so Truth can shine.

Yesterday When I got back home from our lodge with old female member. She said that Radha is only 2 years younger then she is, so she voted John. It is time to give a break for Radha, she said. It is seven years a head to go, it may be too much. That is one opinion. Though both are pretty old. I belive that because we do not have younger candidates for presidential election that all the members of GC must have had pretty bad stroke. ;-) LOL.

It speaks for the Finland Section keeping its neutrality. However, I hope some members who are reading messages on Internet may be aware of what is going on in many other countries. mkr On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 11:38 PM, Jokela Petri <jokelap@...> wrote: > What comes to Finland that is not true.
