[C320-list] Commodore Discussion--PLEASE RSVP with youropinions ASAP!

[Adam Weiner]

Am I getting this right.  Is someone (other than Anne) agreeing with me?
Orlando, you had better come up here and pinch me to make sure that I am
not dreaming.

Russ,
 
I strongly concur with the majority opinion expressed so far - physical
attendence at the annual meeting is not a prerequisite for any officer
position including Commodore.
 
Denny really hit the nail on the head for me in his recent message that
all sorts of modern organizations and businesses in this global economy
no longer make face-to-face the necessity it used to be.  And Adam
earlier today with his observation that with 1000+ boats, several
hundred members and 40-80 attendees at any given annual meeting/regatta
- limiting the candidate pool to attendees handicaps the organization
and severely limits the pool of talent.  
 
It shows the quality of your leadership that you are polling the
membership for opinions.  I believe that if push comes to shove and if
there is ambiguity in the bylaws, then this is a decision for the
current officers to make as our elected leaders.

I think this issue is an important one and I would like to hear other
people's feeback, I certainly respect Dick, Orlando, and Wes but would
like to hear as many opinions as possible before I leave tmrw morning
for San Diego.  Additionally, we have a candidate for Vice Commodore
Karl Miehlenhausen who will be unable to attned the regatta this year
and one for Chief Measurer, Len Krane who is alos unable to attend.
Please lets hear from the group now, TODAY on people's thoughts.

Do not limit the ability of people to volunteer simply because 'you
haven't met them'

Sir Richard,

As one of several Staff Commodores, I just may have an opinion. But,
that said, you are absolutely correct regarding 320 ownership. My
comments are simple. I do not believe you need to be at the regatta to
be elected ( by-laws not withstanding). If you limited electable members
to only those that can travel, or are lucky enough to live close to the
meeting site you limit your selection base.

Give it some thought.

It is interesting to note that Orlando and Wes do not any longer have
C-320's.

Also I feel that we should first vote for someone that is at the regatta
that we can meet.

The association has 3 activities, the mainsheet, the web based email and
home page and the regatta.

Cheers,

Hello group,

My name is Mike LaChance and I would like to become the next commodore
for the 320 Association. As Russ says, it's time to give back. I've been
sailing 11 years and have owned "Seychelle", hull 141, for 3 years
sailing her an average 85 days a year (and I
