Myself, if I just joined the EC I would know the time requirement as I'm sure the gentleman who stepped down surely knew. So speaking for myself if I was just on the commitee, and saw the direction was to move the commons to some sort of a equal level with the preferred before they got FV, then I would balk like hell. If that did no good then why get upset. I would quit also. I' am not a mind reader and I could be wrong, but I would bet I'm not wrong.
