"If nothing else, an Accept vote is an endorsement of this process, and increases the probability that the USBGF will continue to work with directors and treat them as equal partners."

The USBGF should continue that process simply because it is the right one, not because of the outcome of one vote. Members of an organization have the right to reject a proposal -- even one arrived upon by an open, deliberative process that involves member feedback -- without fear that they will have their future involvement curtailed as a result.

I don't take what Jeb said as a threat to do so, but I think this is an important point. I think that virtually all of us endorse the process, however we vote; an Accept vote should be cast only if we think the implementation of these proposed rules is, overall, in the best interests of backgammon, even if we disagree with a few of them.
