Petition Underway to Remove Controversial IGDA Board Member

I think Marvel Comics also wanted to copyright letter "X" for their comics.

Mike Capps and Tim Langdell actually showed that the IGDA election process is borked...

The IGDA has more than 10k members, during the election only 2k voted (showing that the majority of the membership does not care, mainly result of what I call "fake" membership because studio memberships and people that joined only for the discounts and parties...)

Also altough there are a mininum quorum needed, when it is not reached, the board can appoint people... Tim Langdell was appointed (he did not get enough votes, something like 3 or 4 less than the needed, the board appointed him using as criteria the highest voted person, like to disguise the election flaws).

So, altough theoretically people on board are elected democratically, they are not, the failure of the quorum rule only result in the highest voted candidates always getting elected, even when people are not intersted on that (if everyone votes on noone, meaning that no candidate is suitable, the board is still filled by appointed people).

My guess that the IGDA need to fix its bylaws before they manage to fix something on the industry itself, because until the bylaws get fixed, people like Tim and Mike Capps will get on the board.
