I was able to bring questions to the floor, and get responses. I hope to be able to do something similar this year, but I will be involved in the van show, also. I will be posting pics on my facebook site and linking them for all of you here on a daily basis.

Reps don't vote on anything except where the next meeting will be... so the voting issue is null and void in this debate.
so what exactly is the function of the rep? is it to bring your concerns to the meeting? or the information gained at the meeting back to you? in which case I think vanning.com should be an official entity at the meeting, and not just a bystander. but on that same note.. why does anyone need to be an official anything in that case? oh wait... goody bags :-)
I would love to read the charter for C of C, to see the definition of what it is supposed to be, what a rep is really all about. I mean.. seriously.. the more I think about it, what exactly do our reps do at cofc? it seems we get more topics out of the open forum than the closed one.
I'm not trying to trivialize the reps out there or anything.. this is just kind of me typing as I think.
no matter what happens, I will still attend all the meetings, I will stream the live feeds back to you via the magic of the net, and I will share any new information and developments that happen with everyone here, and I will continue to promote vanning in my way, advertising and promoting events, sharing information, etc.

I honestly thought over the years that the CoC was the forum to bring up concerns and changes that should be looked upon for the betterment of the sport. If the only reason a rep votes is for the next site then I am missing the whole purpose for this other than as it has become more and more, a winter party. Now I know I will get slammed for that but...it will not be the first time. As we all know the motorhome discussion is going on in the General forum. It has gone twenty different directions. The thought process from Bonehead was to bring this discussion to the CoC for some kind of decision on the matter. Well in a sense it can be discussed but a vote of the masses involved is not something that will happen so in a sense the whole thing becomes moot. So I guess reps would have to attend the Nats Board meeting to see if the topic can be brought to fruition with this board. Not sure what will actually happen in that either because I am not sure how that could be brought up for discussion unless you contact your Nats Board rep for your specific area. You will need to look on the Nats Board website for who is in your particular demographic. Correct me if I am wrong here Howard. As far as vanning.com being/having a voice at the CoC I am for it. While not in the exactly in the same standing as a council rep, the ones who are there are representing a major media that is seen throughout the world. During the live webcast of the meetings it is a great deal since not everyone is able to attend.

Astro when you meet Geoff at Tom's this weekend way ahead of all the craziness, ask him what his thoughts are about this. Geoff is very easy to get along with and could suggest the best way to approach it. The three of us worked together on that first Virtual Nats going way back to 1997.
It's hard to explain all of this in a forum without going into each and every detail and bringing up some touchy situations from the past that lead me to want to get some say for vanning.com in the CofC meetings. | | | Re: Vannin.com reps representing as a council ? | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | I know who Geoff is Doug, lol :-) I planned on talking to him about this stuff anyway.
