IMHO.
The Delegate Assembly is a Board of 300+ Directors, it is their job
to judge motions, projects, and plans for serving the village. These
items have been researched and thoroughly vetted by UCO committees, Officers, and Executive Board. The Delegate Assembly deals
with ideas that have been polished and refined.
There
may be people with fantastic ideas as Paul noted below, but they need
to go thru the process. Do not fling ideas at the Delegates without
backup and full of unverifiable claims. That only causes confusion
and wastes time.
If
you have a brand new idea for the village, please DO NOT bring it
untested to the Delegate Assembly. Go to UCO where there is a great
experience base and the historical searchable database, most ideas
are not new. When the idea is properly organised the UCO system will
move the idea/plan to the Assembly. Then maybe we can finish on time.
Also
spare us from historical regurgitation and whining, we understand
some people have unique sensitivities but we should not waste the
time of hundreds of residents.
You make a good point Elaine. I have continually heard for many, many, many meetings (I have been here since 2005) microphone hogs trying to rile up the delegate meetings with conspiracy theories and other rabble rousing tools. The people who feel intimidated at the delegate meetings really are the rational ones who don't demand that the loudmouth(s)shut up and sit down.
