I think combat takes the cake. This is from the BMFA nats in 2015.

It seems to me that the organization as a whole is working much more effectively and professionally than it was before, and that most of the complaints in this thread are big on rhetoric and short on fact. The membership spoke loud and clear on the reorganization of the institution. Let's let them get on with it.

If anyone has a legitimate complaint, just use the available channels to have addressed and stop the ranting.

The 21 days notification is pretty "normal" . Making it less reduces member's protection from abusing the process. Members need a time cushion to assess and respond to changes that affect everybody and sometimes in a very significant way. Making statements is not moving a resolution to change RULES. There is a world of differenceThe calling of an "Extraordinary" General meeting must be still available, under fixed rules.( I am pretty sure it is). The same amount of time and availability for scrutiny must apply.

The delegated AUTHORITY by CASA is a function that must be scrutinised at all times. It can't just be allowed to over ride what the organisation stands for without redress possible. This could be a death by a thousand cuts from within, if not handled properly. A fear I went strongly into print about some 8 years ago at least. You didn't have to be Einstein to predict THAT problem.

 

IF we do CASA's work why aren't we paid? We once were and it's part of the deal. We are talking of a fair amount of money .

 

Thanks for hanging in Don. I don't agree with all you say, but you don't deserve the comment some have levelled at you, and I don't think if those who indulge in it were on the receiving end, they would like it. Conspiracy theories abound here. We don't need them. They don't substitute for helpful comment. No one has gone close to drawing any criminal accusation in all the years I've been following this show. Any dysfunction is more the result of poor communication and lack of trust, stubbornness etc. Nev
