You want discussion.... and that is what you will get.
I read your notes with intetest. I understand all of your observations and what you would like to see happen with putting up most of the positions of responsibility for election.
So, to kick off the discussion, I temporarily will assume your position that everyone who is elected is really not elected but appointed/annointed, and would like to ask you, what is it that is broken that you would like to see fixed? Is the condition we assume, that some people are appointed/annointed, a prpoblem by itself? Are the appointed/annointed people
doing a bad job when a better job could be done by elected people? Are some deserving people getting overlooked by this appointment/annointment process? Or is it something else. I think it would help this discussion if you would identify the problems (or the consequences of the problems) you see with the current set up.....
Regards
Stan.
PS. While we are at it, would you want the executive director position up for election? And if not, why not?
