oldsoprano Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) I apologize if I've missed it, but I wonder why there's been no discussion of a George Hopkins proposal that will be voted on next weekend that has the potential to have a far greater impact on the future of the activity than any of the above-mentioned rule change proposals. I'm talking about the one in which the current "big boys" of DCI want to take all decision-making away from the corps ranked 10th and below. If George's proposal passes, only the top 9 corps will have a say in the operation of DCI, including any and all competitive rules changes.

I think it has not been mentioned because Hopkins is trying to slip it in the back door. The proposal just got sent out a few weeks ago. I think this is far more dangerous than any competitive rule proposal. This gives 9 corps the power to decide whatever anyone else does in the activity.... that cant be good for anyone except those 9 corps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liebot Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Can't find it on the website. Either someone's making stuff up or someone has some inside knowledge that I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawker Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Cavaliers and BD's forums don't show anything either. I hate to play moderator on this one, but if we can't substantiate it, we'll have to close it under the "rumor" file. Yeesh. Leaving it open until the morning crew gets here and maybe we can get some confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeesh. Leaving it open until the morning crew gets here and maybe we can get some confirmation. The reason it is not common knowledge is because it has been sent out to the directors and not made public. If someone could get in touch with DCI in the morning and ask I bet they would confirm it.

oldsoprano Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Can't find it on the website. Of course you can't. I'm sure that's exactly how those pushing this MAJOR change in the DCI bylaws want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I had a post, but it was far too snarky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodb Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Bylaw changes (which this would be) don't get posted to dci.org in the proposal stage, like rule change proposals. So this is plausible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
