Just for the sake of discussion, if someone owning property in OPA was convicted of some crime in the past and paid whatever penalty the law imposed, what is the legal basis for the OPA board of directors to make a judgement that the past infraction disqualifies the association member from running for the board of directors? Could OPA also exclude those with misdemeanors? Could OPA exclude all those with driving violations? Where does it stop?

If you are suggesting you would like to see seven sitting board members making such a decision, what language would you propose for a bylaws change? Would a change also be required to all the DRs? Would you allow sitting board members running for re-election to vote?
