thanks to Ted & Alissa - these letters were (actually) helpful in clearing up some lingering questions - they
are somewhat ‘it was not us’ in tone but that appears to be the case.
now we need to hear from the RSOC in regards to at least two outstanding questions
1/ why did the RSOC decide to a/ rebid the RSE contract 2 years early & b/ decide to tell the world about it a further
2 years earlier
2/ did the RSOC consider that the move could be seen as a termination notice
there have been some limited responses to 1a & maybe 1b but nothing that rang true as explaining the root causes, at least to me
if the RSOC was dissatisfied with Heather’s job performance & wants to say that the root cause was a
personnel issue and thus not discussible in public so be it - but such a response will not stop the
speculation that the cause was related to the genesis of the RFC++ BoF (in spite of what Alissa wrote)
but even such an assertion (that was a personnel issue) does not answer question 2
I’m sure that others will have their own question for the RSOC but the above are mine
