JimF-LowBari Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 So MAASIN is not part of the DCI reporting policy. Then why did they try to get involved by contacting Troopers and requesting information? Very private information that should not be shared with non-involved third parties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAASIN is trying to position itself as the independent investigative watchdog group for all of the marching arts. I've seen several comparisons on social media to them being the "SafeSport" for the marching arts. The challenge is... they really don't have the authority to position themselves in that role. SafeSport was granted their status and authority through federal law/congressional action (Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017). MAASIN lacks that same status and authority to take on that role. So while it could be beneficial from an initial PR side of things for a corps/organization to cooperate with MAASIN, the release of any type of confidential/sensitive information to MAASIN could potentially put the organization in a bad spot from a legal standpoint. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be an independent third party too. But what right would I have to tell Troopers that they should tell me what is going on with investigations within the corps? Is MAASIN working with DCI (as an independent) for this or is MAASIN doing this all on their own? Does MAASIN have people knowledgeable enough to deal with the issues? Too many years of working with and getting training on protecting personal and privileged information. If MAASIN doesn’t have a legal right to the info then Troopers would be doing the proper thing by ignoring the request or tell MAASIN to pound sand. Bottom line MAASIN is saying Troopers are hiding info from MAASIN. If MAASIN doesn’t have a right or need to know then Troopers are protecting the info. To put it another way how does this sound? “I’ve made myself the watchdog for problems in DCI corps. Send me all your information on any assault, harassment or other nasty things going on within your corps. And you’d better do it or I’ll bash you on the internet for not complying”.

I see where someone answered your question on FB that Welborn Sullivan Neck & Tooley of Denver/Casper represents The Troopers. (Boy, that's a mouthful. I'm going to call their office just to hear their receptionist.) Most of the follow up comments on FB seem to be skewed to the negative with a few sprinkles of positive support. Not taking up for "The Troop", but I just don't see how the MAASIN organization hasn't opened up their organization to legal action with naming certain individuals. I'm certainly no legal scholar, but I have had a few business law classes & a little common sense. 😐 Edited January 23, 2021 by keystone3ply cx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
