What's really stunning to me is that every staff member, every volunteer and every board member I've seen post endorsements, with the notable exception of Francesca Coppa, the other founder, has not endorsed Novik. It's pretty clear to me that the founders are in direct conflict with the vast majority of the organization and need to step aside for people who will not directly impede change because it's not exactly in line with their outdated vision.

That sounds really harsh, and the funny thing is that I generally like both Novik and Coppa when I interact with them, but omg they need to get their heads out of the sand STAT and until they do I don't want Novik anywhere near the board (or Coppa, really, but her term's not up so...).
