Well, I asked how much patience exists. Well, Fani sure let us know his patience has gone beyond the point of being thin. Also, it’s a safe bet, many if not most share his exasperation, for good reason.
On balance, would everyone screaming at Peter at the tops of their lungs help or hurt?
Probably, there’s more good in that than bad. It might help him understand those still holding their shares don’t have an unlimited wait-and-see timeline.
My attitude is 100% not wait-and-see-what-happens. My initiative is on behalf of everyone here. I understand what it means to be short-of-time.
I’m keeping calm-and-collected because that’s the fastest way for me to make headway. That doesn’t mean I’m against others raising a rumpus. That doesn’t mean others should copy me.
Look at it this way: I’m working through alternative channels of communication. There’s no way what I’m doing will fail to help.
I’m in favor of being totally open-and-on-the-record regarding everything I’m accomplishing. On the other hand, I’m holding back from jumping with joy.
We expect certain things to happen. Based on past performance, our best expectations will never be realized unless we vigilantly monitor how they’re being put into practice.
That’s where I come in. I’m documenting what’s agreed and what’s not agreed (and the reasons for that). The reason I don’t explain every move I make is not to be cloak-and-dagger.
It’s just that during the give-and-take of negotiating, sometimes it’s best not to shout from the nearest rooftop. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t say anything. I can and I will.
The letter I sent out to introduce myself accomplished more than that (as I hoped it would). The whole Board of Directors has a hard copy. The Directors are discussing the Reforms (in the Addendum), one-by-one, amongst themselves. I’m not overstating the case when I say, “This is getting off to a good start.”
