I'm sorry, but this just looks like sour grapes to me.  You had no complaint about these appointments when they were first given to you a couple months ago.  It was not until Konstantinos said he could not re-open the earlier decision and appoint you instead that you had this burning desire to take this alleged "transparency" issue to this list.  

Constructive participation is always welcome.  Aggressive hecklers with an axe to grind get tuned out after awhile.

Had I been selected it might have been more difficult for me to bring up these issues as I would have had officer responsibilities to the EC and would not have felt it appropriate to get involved in Constituency issues at this level.  So I am grateful to have the opportunity to work on trying to fix the NCUC transparency and accountability issues.  It took a while for me to realize my responsibility as a member who was no longer in the leadership, but now that I have, I will pursue these issue, even if it annoys people.
