The corps have been planning on this for several weeks. DCI needed to formalize it with a meeting, and they were holding out until the member orgs all got to the point of realizing what the situation down the road looked like. As recently as a week ago, there were a few big name corps who were gung ho to move forward, and were quite vocal in their positions. They didn't rush it, they didn't drag it, they didn't "fail to plan" - they acted as a co-op should and gave the partners time to come up with a decision. A few folks who obviously had axes to grind with the activity or their former organizations couldn't hold on to their crap, but that's not really anyone else's problem.

I was just referring to Jim’s post. A quote from Benjamin Franklin that I use a lot, because I plan and organize to the extreme. I was in no way reflecting on DCI’s planning process. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The belief that DCI hadn't discussed their comms is incorrect - they wanted to give the corps the chance to communicate to their members first, before worrying about the rest of the community.
