Yet again we see significant decisions being made behind closed doors and without any sort of transparency of what the process has been. The community has a right to know exactly what has happened to have invoked such a dramatic reaction. Not only will this help the community know what to look out for, it’s entirely possible that this same behaviour is happening in other communities but more discreetly or less reported, but the community also deserves to know that the Community Team is in fact speaking for the community. There has been an increasing amount of opposition to any sort of self promotion at events coming from the Community Team over recent years and it is entirely possible they have overreacted or that the individuals involved made the decision based on their own commercial interests. I’m choosing to believe they are acting in the communities best interest, but without transparency it’s impossible to be certain of that. These vaguries only damage the trust towards the Community Team and does nothing to help the community guard against this sort of behaviour in the future.
