Bingo!

That's EXACTLY what is going on. Make no mistake about it; this issue involves personal vendettas.

He paid, all right, and apparently, he continues to "pay."

We the Registry members are not your minions.

Excellent point, Bill. Arrogance reigns supreme here, in some examples.

Is all this petty bickering with things like... he said, or I said or rule 31 said, or it was not a formal event, published to all members, or will he attend. etc, going to be the demise of what we all wanted when we first started this group?

Maybe so!

Amen, Bill. I'd vote for cleaning out the entire Board, and replacing them with fresh people, not just shuffling them around to different positions. Unfortunately, being that this is a "volunteer" organization, its hard to find people who have the time, energy, and inclination to serve.
Wait: If you volunteer, and are paid, are you still a volunteer?

Well said!

All,
How goes the Battle? I really don't know what the issues are but it is about getting together of ZR1 owners, networking & having fun. I don't have no issues with anyone or any ZR1. If you are not on the distro list go to http://pnwzr1.net request to be added to the e-mail list. Lets move on & let NorthWest region be the best & the most active of folks in the ZR1 community. I will be cruising by Lake Washington & the Space Needle today in the Seattle Area.

Great points Nick. Until the current Board is cleaned out and replaced the vendetta against Jeff will continue to fester.
What are you referring to when you ask "If you volunteer, and are paid, are you still a volunteer?" ?

I was referring to the fact that Board members get paid to attend events.

Paid how? Expenses? Airfare to an event?

Indeed, how? Has this been done since the founding of the registry? How much are they paid? Is this in the by-laws?

I don't know how long this has been done. My sense is that it hasn't been done but for the last year or two. Its not in the Bylaws, per se. It is deemed an "incentive" to serve. Perhaps as an "exception" to the Bylaws.
Someone else should ask. I'm out of favor.

Consider the question politely asked:



Did the exec board members that were at Carlisle get paid incentive monies from the Registry?

Thank you

Wrong Nick as demonstrated, there can be NO EXCEPTIONS to the bylaws

Check for $300 each, paid out of the Registry piggy bank. Max of $600 per year. That's what I have learned.
