RE: [nc-budget] proposed budget

["Peter de Blanc" <pdeblanc@usvi.net>]

Colleagues:

Most consumers look for a value proposition. "Am I getting value for my
money". I'd suggest we develop the business plan, put some emphasis on
taking a pro-active, leading role in developing policy guidelines and
position papers for the Board, and I mean COMPLETE policy guidelines (just
as the NC is supposed to be doing).

There is a cost of operating an elected body of any kind, be it a senate, a
council, or whatever. The elected body needs sufficient administrative
support to effectively organize, and communicate the message and consensus
of the constituencies to the Board.

Considering that none of us get paid, the value proposition  is excellent.

Finally, we should communicate that "One has to pay to play"

Philip,

You make a very valid point.  In my opinion, the NC has been acting too
cautiously for too long with regard to the constituencies who have not paid
their share of the agreed to fees.  At some point the issue needs to be
confronted and unfortunately, until a hard stand is taken, some will
probably never take steps to solve the problem.

I undestand the point, but knowing also the context of my own constituency,
I am not ready to accept any hard stand.
There are other ways!
