[UK-TUG] Personal statement on resignation from committee

[Jonathan Fine]

Dear UK-TUG Members

Differences with leading members of the committee is the principal reason
why I resigned. The Chair has said that he might "impose an SGM plan of my
[Jay's] own choosing and (see Procrustes bed) reject or modify motions so
that all motions put to the members are chairable".

I hope this doesn't happen. I don't see why rejection of motions would be
necessary. According to wikipedia, "Procrustean" is used to describe
situations where an arbitrary standard is used to measure success, while
completely disregarding obvious harm that results from the effort.

I'm pleased that TUG has accepted my donation with the "supporting TeX in
the UK" restriction. If the same can be arranged for a donation arising
from dissolution I'd be a lot happier, particularly if it happens before
the SGM.

with kind regards

Jonathan
