		| Originally posted by Tyrone_Slothrop I believe the Sierra Club does some international stuff.  They made a decision not to get involved in immigration issues a few years ago, but there is a faction intent on changing this.  According to an e-mail I received from interested parties, one of the current directors (Paul Watson, an animal-rights activist) said: "We're only three directors away from controlling the board. And, once we get three more directors elected...[We'll] change the entire agenda of that organization."

  That's one of the dangers of the pure representational board systems.  Orgs based on unchangable trust provisions are at least safer, if you value continuity.
The Republican and Democratic parties have been struggling with this for decades.
