This is not intended to be critical of leadership. In fact I support them and the path they have taken with respect the manufacturers dispute. I also understand that in these instances lawyers - who obviously would have to have been involved and consulted given the nature of all of this - will counsel leadership that the less said in public the better.
But maybe the balance towards conservative limited communication has gone too far?
Please give me a reason to pay my dues.
Show me leadership is on top of this or at least explain what the current status is and what options and fall-backs exist should they be needed. The communications that we get suggest the sky may soon be falling - and that may well be a very real possibility I can agree - but if so, don't class members deserve a bit more communication about where things stand and what the options going forward might be?
* The vote was taken and passed on to ISAF who did what - nothing? Can leadership please explain what ISAF's rationale is for doing nothing and what if any options the class has?
* If this is held up by ISAF are there steps class members can take to put pressure on ISAF to act or at least explain themselves?
* There have been public reports - by the manufacturers themselves - that both GS and LPE would set up their own version of a Laser class and there seems to maybe have been small steps taken by both in that general direction if what is out in the public is being understood correctly. Are people reading these steps correctly?
* Finally, if the sky is starting to fall, what options exist for the class to proactively deal with it?
Again, none of this is intended to be critical of leadership, or their actions to deal with the dispute.
I simply point out that for a leader to lead, somebody has to pick up a flag, explain the what and why, and lead. Its hard to follow a vaccuum... people tend to float around bouncing off the walls when there in one. So end the communiction vaccuum.
Perhaps we need to hear more about the what and why!
Thanks,
