> Reasons:
>
> 1.      According to Art 4.1 of ToR, item d.
>
> As organizer and official representative of host at Ljubljana meeting (his
> organization was paying the bills for meeting, known fact), and active
> member of executive committee, he didn’t provide the financial report for
> more than a year. On the website, this report was seen after SEEDIG meeting
> in Bucharest, somewhere in 3Q this year (date of publishing is somewhere in
> late July 2019.).
>
> Without any doubts, harm is done to the SEEDIG. For example, SEEDIG could
> have benefited from an UN grant (we heard about that in Bucharest); I hear
> that this did not happen and that the delayed publication of the report
> contributed to this.
>
> Clearly, by delaying the financial reporting for so long, there can be
> raised fair suspicion and inquiry on how the host was handling the money.
> But, I still want to believe that laziness is the reason, nothing else.
>
> 2.      According to Art 4.1 of ToR, item g and h
>
> Instead of consulting the community about all significant matters, this
> member of executive committee wrote a personal blog, raising concerns
> around SEEDIG in public. More than that, he was writing personal emails to
> the sponsors, without knowledge of community or, to the best of my
> knowledge, rest of executive committee. The emails was forwarded to me by
> some sponsors, with whom I have very active business. Blog can be found
> here
> https://blog.caf.si/2019/11/reflections-on-my-two-years-in-seedig.html.
>
> If you are surprised with this blog from November, it’s exactly what is
> regulated by those items g and h in ToR – you should not be, but you are.
> Also you can easily see that, roughly, half of this blog is not true (there
> are mailings in the archive that proves he wrongly explained certain
> moments in SEEDIG history, which he was not taking part) and half of the
> blog are alleged issues and problems which he NEEDED to share with
> community and colleagues in exe com. This way, without knowledge of entire
> community, he criticizes many thing, expressing his opinion based on mostly
> wrong facts, and he created fake news, the worst kind – mix of “a little
> bit of truth” and “a little bit of fake” makes the “perfect deal”. More on
> that, the blog was shared on social networks by some of the sponsors with a
> lot of question marks about the future of SEEDIG, and by that, he was
> ruining hardly built trust between sponsors and SEEDIG as initiative.
>
> I don’t know how it went with members of exe com or other members of
> SEEDIG, but I was spending a lot of my time to answer to some of the
> sponsors, connected with them in my line of business, that truth is not
> written in that blog.
>
> 3.      According to Art 4.1 of ToR, item h
>
> Recent meddling in election process, by asking for a report which is not
> regulated by ToR, and to the best of my knowledge, not in any decision of
> exe com, through the mail sent to the list: there is a concern that he was
> trying to intimidate the chair and all members of election committee. At
> least, by asking that, he was putting pressure to the election committee
> and all members, obviously not happy with the preliminary results,
> jeopardizing the whole election process and undermining the work of
> election committee. This is a very bad and dangerous practice shown from
> this exe com member, and he should be removed just for that.
>
> 4.      According to Art 4.2 of ToR
>
> It’s really questionable if this member of executive was fulfilling
> obligation of 5-6 working hours per week: If the regular obligations was
> not finished on time, as described in the reason under point 1., he
> obviously was not fulfilling this obligation also.
>
> Conclusion – according to ToR, he is not fit to serve as exe com member,
> obviously he is not fit to work in a team and what is worse, he is putting
> the whole SEEDIG initiative in danger by his “personally initiated”
> (in)activities. It will be a big danger if he stays one more year of his
> mandate as a member.
>
>
>
> In line with Art 7.3 in the ToR, I ask and invite community members to
> back up this petition - it needs 10% of the total number of members of this
> list to trigger a vote on removing Dusan Caf from the exe com. If you are
> concern about SEEDIG, this is a concrete way to express your concerns and
> clean up what is hidden under the carpet.
