RE: request: removal of Alan Paller from the CEB (fwd)

Chris,

First, who exactly are you? Other than a "project manager" [0] who has 
not 
posted to the public CVE Editorial Board list in the last 16+ years? 
Where 
is *your* contribution to the board?

No, my point in this mail is backed in pure, unadulterated fact. Fact, 
that is, in case you didn't miss the FACT part of that.

I have a spreadsheet of CVE editorial board posts from 5/17/2000 to 
7/27/2016 that I generated, partially due to my time, and partially due 
to 
paying out of pocket for an analyst to generate the rest. I get that he 
may have participated in the charter before 2000, but nothing in the 
last 
16 years despite 'not voting' on a few critical events in those years 
has 
been grounds for removal.

Show me where Allan Paller contributed to the list between those dates. 
If 
you can show me a time he did, it means the Board Mail List Archive [1] 
is 
not complete (which I have also called out many times as not updating 
properly). I sincerely want you to show me where I am wrong in my 
assertions.

: Participate constructively or be quiet.

Are you saying definitely, that I have not participated constructively? 
Sure, I have been very vocal, I have slightly crossed some boundaries 
on 
decorum that were expected by others, and only later qualified as rules 
after I pushed MITRE to behave more responsibly (wher they focused on 
decorum, not improving CVE). But to suggest that I haven't been 
constructive is absurd and false.

You signed your mail:

   The CVE Team

So is this the official stance of the MITRE/CVE team telling a board 
member to be quiet? That I am wrong, that Allan Paller has somehow 
brought 
value to the board, despite not posting to the list at all in 16 years? 
I 
am mindful of the 'promoting CVE' angle that has been brought up 
before, 
but I am speaking specifically to participation on the board in his 
documented role [2].
