There is one sentence in the policy that allows the PD final say. This is unfortunate and most certainly the cause of the PAC's inefficacy.
There is, however, other language that states the PAC should strive to work through consensus, and if consensus is stifled by one person unwilling to work with the group (perhaps the PD) then the group should use the grievance process to ameliorate the dispute.
Unfortunately, there had been a breakdown in the committee system, and the grievance process was not effectively administered. I doubt the PAC even knew it had that option when staff chose not to heed its "advice".
My feeling, after many discussions with ex PAC members, is that the thing was sabotaged from the beginning by those who wished to subvert the democratic process in order to maintain control over what we are allowed to say and hear on our community radio station.
Hardly "membership control" in my book.
No matter, all those who sought democratic change are gone now, and the CPB has made up for the loss of their contribution.
