and suffer with you, there was nothing we could have done ”.
Do not accept this narrative but hold PSF accountable for its egregious failures.
For instance, for not publishing ahead projections and financial statements as any normal, professional organisation would do:
Also, Marie (@riecatnor), Georgi(@georgically) , it would be instructive to see an answer to the following question:
can you put a ballpark number to the financial benefits that you have received over the last years from or through PSF?
direct (e.g., salary, grants) or in-kind/indirect (funding to allied projects, events, etc)?
Any maybe compare that to the amounts that, for example, you have recently denied to the median African event that confers benefits and opportunities to not 2 but maybe 100 people?
But, on second thought: publishing your salary would be factual and give useful context, but it would not be such a great communication strategy, Community Communications Manager Marie Nordin?
So, instead, let’s focus how we and PSF can jointly suffer and hope for a time where maybe more scraps will land in the laps of us wretched of the world
And please let me know if being critical and asking for accountability and transparency is considered a Code of Conduct violation on this forum - after all, I did imply at least negligence, and my tone could make you sad
