| USCF President Beatriz Marinello and EB Member Tim Hanke should
respond to the accusations that they want to become full-time USCF
employees. They read and post to this site on a regular basis, are
obviously aware of the discussion, and it would be a simple matter for
them to post a statement that they will not be employed by the USCF
for at least one year from the date that they leave the board.
As elected USCF officials and being in the public eye, they should be
willing to make such a statement. If they are not willing to calm
these rumors, and choose to ignore them, then the membership has every
right to think the worst of them: that they will use their positions
of power to secure employment with the USCF.
After decades of the USCF and the EB Members acting in a manner that
is both unethical and not in the best interest of the membership, it
is time that board members are above reproach. It is time that the
USCF and its Board Members act in an ethical manner and appear to act
in an ethical manner. If the EB wants to restore the faith and trust
of the membership, the Board must take positive steps to redeem
itself.
President Marinello and Board Member Hanke cannot be, or appear to be,
involved in the hiring process for the positions of Executive Director
of the USCF and Editor of Chess Life AND be in contention for the
jobs; to do so would be a conflict of interest. If they are not
willing to make a statement that they will not seek or secure those
positions, then they should be willing to resign their positions on
the board; if they cannot act in the best interest of the USCF and its
membership, they should resign from the Board.
It is time for the USCF, the chess community, and the chess politicos
to move on and put these petty bickerings behind us. Marinello and
Hanke posting a statement of their intentions would settle this
argument and allow us to concentrate on other issues.
