AAaaaaarrgh!

This idea of a Special General Meeting, or whatever... Yes, but NO.

We can't discuss the YoF, because we still know almost nothing about it and what comes next. It's like being handed a box wrapped in brown paper and told 'in here is either a bomb that will kill the entire society with a painful disease, or a huge box of really nice chocolates. You have to take it, pretty much, and we're not telling you which it is.'

Okay, the analogy's pretty poor, but realistically, our options are

a) run YoF, whatever it's like, and stay global and so on, suck up whatever the global organisation tells us and carry on into the new setting

b) don't run YoF and prepare to be in serious breach of the affiliate agreement, hence needing to leave the global society.

That's a pretty big decision, and we seem to be being forced to make it before we know anything about the plans. I can't describe how much I hate this entire thing.

Anyway, if we have an SGM it's going to get bogged down in rules lawyers. This stuff about the Tome - I thought we had a Tome committee? Why can't we let them get on with it, and just have a report from them, or something? GOD, PEOPLE ARE STUPID.

Deaffiliation looks like it'd just shatter the Cam and that would be that ;-(

sounds about right imo, not that valid an option. I can see the org splitting into affiliated and non affiliated but the whole thing moving would just be a huge mistake

In that case, there is no need for all this stuff. If we are affiliated we have to keep our game in line with the international game. The US is running the YoF on the MST's timetable, and they ahve more members that everyone else put together. We have to run it, like it or not, and do as the guy says, unless we disaffiliate. That's the bottom line.
