audiodb Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Remember that new DCI governance structure we've been hearing nebulous rumors about, where the BOD would be restructured in a more businesslike fashion, division II/III corps would somehow become voting members in DCI, and world peace would be achieved? :) Well, the big DCI meeting was this past weekend - so what happened?

MikeN Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Ask, and ye shall receive: http://www.dci.org/news/news.cfm?news_id=6...f2-1697d20f920d A Saturday afternoon session with the Division I board included discussion on a comprehensive new governance structure proposed during the April, 2006, board meeting in Dayton, Ohio. In this discussion, serious overall governance structure and participation review was evaluated, however, the wide-ranging proposal was not adopted in its current form, although there is anticipation that significant components of the proposal will be developed for future implementation.“We discussed ways to combat the challenges that Drum Corps International faces on an annual basis, including continuity of membership and representation, corps stability, board structure and the responsibilities of corps who are members of DCI. Though we chose not to act on this proposal, I’m hopeful that all of the elements will continue to be pursued,” said Chairman of the Board Jeff Fiedler. “I think we would all agree after this meeting that the status quo is not necessarily something we are all happy with.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GmenBari78 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Those in power stay in power --- the ones in control never want to give up power to others. If this ever passes I would be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodb Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 From what I heard, any and all division II corps aspiring to move up to division I either opted not to petition, or had their petition put on hold because this change was supposed to take place in September. Now what would the status be for these corps (if there are any now)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
