Hmm, I thought Carl's problem was that he couldn't get some of the contracts in on time. >Does this mean that the committee that will replace him is going to stand >by what we think of as "our" interests? > I believe the new committee will probably consists of djs, record labels, club owners, concert promoters (all from detroit I would assume)...people who know what's going on in the music basically. >At the very least, the tactic I propose can possibly lead to a committee >that isn't filled with Ford hacks....... > If anything, Ford will just play the "sponsor" role. Frankly, I have no problems at all with major companies contributing. They're the ones with the money. Money that is important in enabling techno-friendly organizations with the advancement of techno, the right way. I mean look at musikundmaschine in germany...Siemens is a sponsor. They do cellular phones and alot of technology globally. They donate to pbs in the United States. So it not all bad. What techno really needs is better leadership in marketing, PR, etc, and to utilize companies that donate monies without marring the integrity. It can be done folks.
