At this date (4 May 2011) Martin Baldwin-Edwards is considering quitting CZ. The principal reason is that the Management Council is illegally constituted (with only three out of five required members) and considers itself not bound by fundamental principles of the CZ Charter and basic requirements of applicable national laws concerning the rights of individuals. In particular, the requirement that former members of CZ may not delete their biographical details is offensive and fascist in mentality.
