ఖోరం కోరమా?

Looks like the much anticipated meeting to make changes to the by-laws did not succeed.
Does this mean people do not care about the welfare of the organization or just interested
in having fun and not being responsible. Although we cannot the blame the people for not
showing any interest after what has been going on in the past couple of years, there should
have been more active participation to voice their opinion. It is heard that more than two
hundred people showed up but that was not enough to achieve the quorum. What is interesting
is the fact that you could not see anybody from the team that lost the elections last year.
It is not sure if they do not want these changes to succeed or they do not like it at all.
Coming to the meeting itself, it looked more like a one man show. Although it seemed
like lot of effort was put into the process, the message did not seem to reach the general
audience. Even the vantala poti did not bring any enthusiasts. At least one item to mention
is they did not approve the changes without the required quorum. That would have been another long drawn out battle in the courts. Also the so called "community elders" who would seek all the glory and no responsibility did not seem to care about the happenings. You would think they would be standing up there and talking about the pros and cons of doing things like
this.

Major points of discussion seem to be :
Life Member Fee reduction.
Impact on Fundraising.
Eligibility to become part of EC.
Concept of a Board becoming another power center.
Responsibilities and constitution of the board.
