Specified people reporting to directors, or anyone who might at some stage report to a director?

Re: Direct Members’ Representatives – elections
That's pretty much how it seems to me, too. I joined the EJCOA in response to the argument that coaches and junior organisers didn't have enough voice at the top table but not because I wanted the seating rearranged. I rather think I'm not alone in that.Paul Cooksey wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 9:01 am
My perception is that the people interested in ECF politics in the EJCOA are part of the most politically active nexus in recent years, if I include CSC. I don't think there is anything wrong with that in itself. But the extent to which they hold positions at the ECF is notable. We aren't talk about a group that is underrepresented and wants a say, but rather the largest group campaigning for control.

A tricky political question that Roger should probably ignore is "Which groups do you think have too much influence at the top table?"Roger Lancaster wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 4:10 pmI joined the EJCOA in response to the argument that coaches and junior organisers didn't have enough voice at the top table but not because I wanted the seating rearranged.

Re: Direct Members’ Representatives – elections
LOL, I don't recall suggesting that any group [in fact, I don't recall mentioning "group"!] has too much influence. However, the ECF Board now consists of 13 people and, thinking back, I'd find it hard to recall experience of any board/committee of that size where there weren't divergent opinions on how things should be run. The effective ones were those that recognised that open warfare was a distraction from what they were meant to be doing.Paul Cooksey wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 5:44 pmA tricky political question that Roger should probably ignore is "Which groups do you think have too much influence at the top table?"Roger Lancaster wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 4:10 pmI joined the EJCOA in response to the argument that coaches and junior organisers didn't have enough voice at the top table but not because I wanted the seating rearranged.

That would be unfortunate, as the Articles stipulate a maximum size of 12.Roger Lancaster wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 7:06 pmHowever, the ECF Board now consists of 13 people ...
I think that you have miscounted (or counted an Alternate Director).

Re: Direct Members’ Representatives – elections
You're both right - I'd included an Alternate Director but I don't feel that has too much bearing on my earlier thought.

Re: Direct Members’ Representatives – elections
There still times for Silvers members to make sure you voice is heard in the Meetings
i hope to be elected and as i told everyone, i never take my role for granted and have always done a joint report with my fellow rep, bar the Finance meeting as my fellow silver rep (and still he not sent a report after the meeting and telling people how he voted for you) did said on his blog "it was a pointless meeting"
The finances meeting is not pointless as it sorted out the budget and also what members will have to paid, but also i feel that some people do have issues with certain people in the board.
I have been accused by one person saying that i voted a certain way. my response is i always voted the way the members or if involve in a league/congress, the way that the league tell me

The deadline for voting is 25th July. I received an email from [email protected] on 7th July with a link to the voting form, and have just unearthed it with some effort. I hope that there will be a reminder before the polls close.

Re: Direct Members’ Representatives – elections
Pointless or not, it might at least have been a bit shorter if your fellow rep had not decided it would be amusing to overwrite the link in the chat to the voting form with one to a Blackadder video. What can you do with people who behave like that?.John Reyes wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 8:39 ammy fellow silver rep (and still he not sent a report after the meeting and telling people how he voted for you) did said on his blog "it was a pointless meeting"

Not vote for them, perhaps.

There has been no email reminder. Voting closes tonight.

Re: Direct Members’ Representatives – elections
It would appear that advice was ignored
I gather the results will be published later
