HockeyDad Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jim Schehr said: DCI would need to change their mission statement and expand on its services and capabilities as an organization which would require its member corps to accept. I doubt the resources are available to revise its foot print let alone extend its authority without a vote by its member corps. Then they'd best get on with making it happen. Vote on it. Do it. Because the current organizational and administrative model isn't serving them too well. Edited April 14, 2018 by HockeyDad 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt this part of DCI's probationary terms will be the most demanding to achieve, I still do. And since DCI is the only game in town they can prohibit by their authority participation in their shows based on a number of yet to be made public defined qualifiers. My question is - does DCI have the authority based soley on these allegations to put an organization on probation when no known sexual abuse or misconduct policy to my knowledge currently exist at DCI?

How did it come to pass that this organization, which can only schedule and promote shows, placed a corps on probation? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how BOA and or WGI is structured with regards to these issues. (great discussion) However if either has policies in place that stipulate how they are handled, it may be a model to mirror. That's if DCI member corps agree to expand the arm of authority of DCI. I assumed they were taken care of by the schools that participted in those circuits. DCI is a much more complicated matter as the corps are independent bodies of their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is there is something in there like it. I would like to read what is specified in those bylaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll restate my guess is that there are some kind of the equivalent of "Broad discretionary powers" that can be used in extreme situations somewhere in the bylaws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess might be that it would be very loosely worded to allow something quick to be done and actions taken in emergency situations without the need to consult.

AS with many loose rules often they suggest this or that and say they do not condone. Don' think for a second WGI and others haven't swept their own issues with many subjects under the rug and unless you are in the thick of things many don't even know something existed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
