I do believe it is a bit of conflict of interest. Also, the $20 fee is quite a bit too much in these rough financial times, but even then some people may feel a little apprehensive about voting because it seems to us that regardless the committee will ultimately make the final decision, therefore what is the point of our vote.
Another concern of mine is the ability to manipulate votes. In order for it to work out there would need to a be a post that listed all the names of the people that voted and what they voted for. The list should be updated every day. Once again I doard not mean to offend anyone as I understand that the committee is working very to make things happen and I know they would do a good job. Hopefully we could get a final decision going soon.
I know that I will be going for sure because I have already set aside the money I would need. I just hope the committee could read and address our concerns. I do not mean to burden and on the contrary I would like to help out by giving ideas for the meet-up.
I hope that order comes soon. |
GREAT post!!
I agree with you, that if SD had won this wouldn't be happening. When the East Coast people were complaining about it being on the West Coast, they were basically told to suck it up and in '10 it would be on our coast, but when the East Coast ended up winning, suddenly they want to do a revote? Sorry, it sounds like it's a little biased to me. I'm not trying to pick on the committe, but if they really want to do what's fair, they will
honor the votes that the YT members made.
