The IT Skeptic - Comments for "The ITIL world descends into farce"

the country that nominated them

So it does. I know no more than you but I'd say it must be the country that nominated them. As far as I recall this is the first indication we mere mortals have had as to which chapter actually nominated them.

What do the itSMFI Board member country designations mean?

Skep

In the news announcement you reference on this matter posted at the itSMFI site it shows a country designation. Given that I believe Sharon Taylor is Canadian and Rob Stroud Australian - what are they meant to mean? Do they indicate who nominated them to the election?

Enemies or Enema?

So this person is an enemy then? Well if that's the case how is he Chairman of an itsmf Chapter?

how about Sun Tzu

Perhaps but I would suggest the organisation is now fragile enough that one person just about could wreck it if left outside the circle.

If Lyndon Johnson isn't to your taste, how about Sun Tzu: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"

Sometimes it's best to keep dry...

Sometimes people are best left outside the tent pissing themselves than in the tent pissing all over everyone else. This might well be one of those times...

Better inside the tent pissing out

"Better inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in". Perhaps if people hadn't been shut out they might be more positive.

Good fun stuff skep but if

Good fun stuff skep but if you were there (as I have been told by a colleague of mine who was there) you would have seen one Chapter chairman attempting to wreck the whole organization. The person i am told is located not too far from you. About 1,500km.

Thankfully the ITSMF has now got some good leadership in place and it is rapidly attempting to fix things. But it needs support not negative criticism.
