[HP4GU-FAQ] Re: ADMIN/MEMB: Prospective Members

[cindysphynx]

Howdy!

Here's an idea that might move us forward.
 
As I am the one who is most concerned about Michelle, anyone (Amanda and
others) who had any communication with Michelle about her request(s) can
get in touch with me off-list and forward the communications.  With any
luck, Michelle's communications will be perfectly *fine* and my concerns
will be allayed.  We might well be locking horns over messages that were
appropriate and charming, after all.  But the more bobbing and weaving
that is done on this issue, the more I think something must be wrong
with this picture.
 
Alternatively, I guess I could just write to Michelle directly and ask
*her.*  Frankly, I'd prefer the first option, but if that is unworkable,
then I guess Michelle and I should just chat off-list.
 
>I can't possibly imagine Michelle's arrival here as having 
>any negative impact. I really wish you could actually meet her in 
>person. 
 
You know, whether Michelle is nice in person just isn't important here.
Lots of people have asked to participate in list administration since I
joined list administration, and we turn down nice people all the time.
What matters with any candidate is how they conduct themselves at HPfGU;
I really wouldn't push for a candidate if another group member were
concerned just because they are a friend, especially if I didn't know
the full story myself.  
 
 
>I'm sure at that point any of your fears would be allayed. 
 
Seeing Michelle's own explanation of why she wished to join us would do
a lot more for me than knowing that her friends like her, especially in
light of the unfortunate letter Tom mentioned.
 
>I 
>can't think why there should be some hidden issue or something that 
>people are being kept deliberately in the dark. 
 
Humor me, then!  Then we'd know rather than speculating.

<Kelley>

Well, would it be acceptable to everyone if I asked her then?


No, let's wait.  We're trying to wrap this in a week, and we'll want to
tell Kelley whatever we tell Carolyn and bring Kelley in on that
dialogue, right?  Also, it is not a good idea to consider a slate of
candidates and then invite them piecemeal.  The late arrivals invariably
wonder whether they were second choice.
