@richardfontana This is on you. You knew you were not willing to meet the eligibility requirements but did not withdraw as a candidate before the elections opened. OSI didn't know and didn't anticipate that someone would do that; it had never happened that a candidate ran but then refused to meet the requirements. OSI then had to ensure that anyone who might be seated was willing to serve. Lesson learned; in the future the docs will be signed before someone can run @ed @kevin @jwildeboer

Carys Craig, The AI-Copyright Trap: "Policy makers are increasingly being called upon to protect creators and the cultural industries from the extractive, exploitative, and even existential threats posed by generative AI. In their haste to act, they risk running headlong into the Copyright Trap: the mistaken conviction that copyright law is the best tool to support human creators in our new technological reality (when in fact it is likely to do more harm than good)."
