1. Find a couple willing and diplomatic Executive Director candidates
2. write a description of current E.D.'s 10 yr. absence from Olympia and sub-legal participation in the organization
3. present to 'hierarchy'and if the response isn't to make an easy transition then make it into a petition and have the masses of the oly activist community sign it, since it's a known issue that needs to be resolved, and with enough community pressure and planning/organization it could be.

This wouldn't provide some legal tool, but if the MII elders see the wide spread support for a transition and responsible candidates for succession they'd move on. No one ready for the responsibilities of E.D. of MII has ever stepped fwd. So the org has floated without a strong leadership core. In the scheme of things this really would really be a fairly minor coup. People who want to organize for social change should take this on as a mild exercise in transformation.

As for the caretaker position. There were originally guidlines set for the position, if they are not voluntarily followed by the caretaker, nor enforced by the day-to-day involved nor the 'Hierarchy'(E.D. and the one<?> BOD) then that's a failure of those currently involved.
