service, to produce a hosted Candidates Forum for the upcoming
KZYX/Mendocino Public Broadcasting Corporation Board of Directors
election on <a href="http://Mendocinotv.com">Mendocinotv.com</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>When
it quickly became apparent that it would not be easy to send an
invitation to all the candidates, we requested their contact
information from Stuart Campbell, Board Vice President and
Elections Coordinator.</p><p class="MsoNormal">While he was willing to take our information
and pass it through to the candidates, he has steadfastly refused
to give us the contact information.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>It is our position that as a news organization, it is
inappropriate and unethical for KZYX to filter our communications
through their bureaucracy. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Additionally,
the initial request was made through a current member and Board
Candidate, who we believe has a legal right to membership contact
information.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Furthermore,
we are perplexed as to how the KZYX members can make informed
election decisions without the ability to contact the candidates,
except through KZYX management channels. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The bizarre bureaucratic responses from
Elections Coordinator Campbell left us dumbfounded. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He told us he couldn’t give us
that information rather than contacting candidates for permission
if that was necessary.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>So,
we are seeking assistance from you, the public, for contact
information on Tony Novelli, Benj Thomas, Clay Eubank, Dennis
O’Brien and Ed Keller.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Please only send this contact information to
this request.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>If you have
other comments you may post them on <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.mendocinotv.com/">www.mendocinotv.com</a>.</p>
