Perhaps a good idea would be for me to communicate with you personally to voice my concerns rather than continue doing this publicly here. I've been a member since 2009. This community is just too important for me.
I still don't get why pursuing the 4th would compromise the first 2. If it is because of fear of retaliation by the US Gov., I could understand that, but perhaps there were better ways of announcing that to the community---if the plan is indeed just a rebranding of the "controversial" term DEI.
and the second about increasing the pool of people benefiting from our field. I have no intention of compromising either of those. I have, however, come to realize that the term DEI is more of a roadblock than a path forward.

I apologize, as this response looks pretty hostile. My intention was not to demonize you or the INFORMS board. I am just upset and feel that this situation was not handled appropriately.
Dave, I am sorry, but you used to believe that. This was on your INFORMS President nomination website. It was one of your five strategic plans. Perhaps Senator Cruz's report changed your mind.

I just received an email telling me I was selected for a “meritorious reviewer award” from IJOC. Made me happy enough to share it as my first post here.
