My personal theory: it is related to the liability of committee members after Hispanic science fiction author Jon Del Arroz won a defamation lawsuit against Worldcon. They called the conservative author racist from official accounts, banned him from the event after he was harassed and strange packages sent to him home, and continued to exaggerate rumors against him to justify banning and publicly defaming him.

Hugo Admin Team Members Resign, But Why?

I do not expect to get an answer out of them, but I suspect they do not like the idea of being pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. Time to call out the big white ball.
