Hi All,
Unless they come to their senses by Friday morning; a dedicated knot of "antis" will attempt to shut down our INTERNET Web Site.
This will put them on the same page as China, Iran, North Korea, and Burma.
What page is that; all those countries tried, to a greater or lesser extent, to shut down the INTERNET. For the most part they failed.
I ask that all of our readers and contributers attend the Delegate Assembly and resist this effort, if it in fact materializes!
Under any condition, this Site will continue to provide an uncensored forum for our Unit Owners to express themselves. It will continue in one of two formats:
1) As an Officially sponsored, uncensored UCO affiliated channel.
or
2) As an unaffiliated, uncensored channel organized to support our Unit Owners.
It is long overdue, that our CV residents have an unfiltered media channel to make their views known and to dialog about issues of importance to them; Cyberspace provides such self-publishing power, limited only by your imagination.
So, turn out in force to turn back this assault on Cyberspace Democracy.
By the way; shouldn't the UCO Reporter also become responsive to the will of our Unit Owners; think about it!!

Good luck on Friday, Dave.
ReplyDeleteUCO forgets they are here for the residents, the residents are not here for UCO. I am so angry and upset. I did not move to a communist state and this is what UCO wants, benevolent parent and keep the kids in the dark. Keep up the good fight Dave, we are behind you!
ReplyDeleteThere were 255 delegates to register for quorum at the UCO meeting this morning. 112 voted in favor of a resolution from the floor to cancel the current blog and replace it with a UCO ( or is it CV ? )website, 45 voted against. 98 did not vote or were not present at the time this resolution was passed.
ReplyDeleteIt does not seem appropriate to me that such important matters are decided on the spur of the moment, without time for full examination of the pros and cons and the Delegates unaware that it was coming. Andre
P.S. Save for election time, this blog has been very informative on a number of issues raised by CV residents.
The King is dead long live the King.
#1,
ReplyDeleteIf 255 Delegates were registered and all were 'considered' present when the vote was taken, 128 members were required to approve the motion (not 112 affirmative votes). It is most important to be aware of any Delegate who leaves at the time a vote is taken at our Delegate Meetings. Unless such steps are taken to know the exact number of members present when a vote is taken, then you would not know if the affirmative vote of the majority of members present was achieved, for a regular motion to have been approved. I had just walked back into the meeting when the votes were being counted, but it is possible that the motion was lost, and the determination of the outcome of the vote was inaccurate according to the facts you have presented.
Regarding the vote taken at the last meeting to remove the Blog, if the outcome of the vote was inaccurately determined (given the facts as you presented them), the minutes of the meeting should verify those facts. Since no point of order was raised after the determination of the outcome of the vote was stated, a motion to rescind is appropriate at the next meeting. (This motion is appropriate regardless if a mistake has been made).
ReplyDelete"A motion to rescind-also known as repeal or annul- is a motion by which a previous action or order can be cancelled or countermanded.
Whereas, a motion to amend something previously adopted is the motion that can be used if it is desired to change only a part of the text, or to sustitute a different version." -Roberts Rules Newly Revised (RONR,; Page 294) This motion is often used for inaccurate minutes after they have been approved at the next meeting at which they are read or distributed.
