[casual_games] Corvus Elrod's Petition to Call a Member Vote

[Thomas H. Buscaglia]

Unfortunately,  the survey title "IGDA Removal of 
Tim Langdell" and the question itself "

I request that the IGDA Board of Directors call a 
special meeting of the membership to remove Tim 
Langdell from his position on the IGDA board."

do not make the fact that the petition is to call 
a vote on the removal at all clear and probably .

“There’s been this tradition in the [video-game] 
industry that everybody gets screwed on their 
first deal,  I'm doing my best to make sure that 
that becomes a historical anecdote instead of the way we do business.”
Tom Buscaglia, The Game Attorney - Lawyers Weekly, December 3, 2007.
