So, with Cindy's permission, here is the letter referred to.
Hi, Cindy
We regret to inform you that we must decline your request to rejoin
MEG. Your petition sparked Yet Another Lively MEG Discussion, which
led to a vote on whether ex-MEGs should be allowed to return before
the governance issues are resolved. The majority voted that they
should not.
The primary reason for refusing your petition is that people are
worried that the return of any ex-MEG at this stage would result in a
disruption of the fragile state in which MEG remains.
In this we recognize our failure to honor the erstwhile tacit
agreement that MEGs who unsubbed would be welcomed back. We also are
forced to acknowledge that we still have a lot of problems to work
through before we become a reasonably healthy group. When we get the
governance issues resolved, we'll revisit the issue of admitting
ex-MEGs.
We're not very happy about the fact that we have to turn you down. We
certainly could use the extra hand, but the "Lively Discussion"
revealed that we're still a mess from the events following your
Ouster, and for that we're truly sorry.
Best regards,
Pip
For the Administration Team
