Readercon query

[calimac]

Could someone explain to me the relationship between 1) the concom that just reversed and overruled the board's decision, 2) the board that issued the infamous two-year suspension, 3) the concom that actually ran this year's convention? Because, as it appears, the concom (3) referred the matter to the board, which was then overruled by the concom (1). What? I do not think I grasp the administrative structure here.

As I see it, the board put in place a rule that they enforced selectively.

They did, but that does not explain the administrative relationship between the board and the concom, which is the question I am asking.

Faced with a general rebellion by the concom and the reaction in fandom the board resigned en masse'.
I believe their system is along the lines of MNSTF, with the board controlling the purse strings and the policies of the convention at corporate level.
But, it's 5:42 and having woken up from a nightmare, I could be wrong.

Right, but does MNSTF have some other corporate body with a misleading name that lives above the board?

As far as I know, it doesn't (in theory).
I will grant that there are some members of the board who keep getting elected year after year, but that's just the people choice.
