Doug, IMCA supports the NomCom's guidelines. I'm not really sure what you are suggesting IMCA step up and do?
IMCA has been quick to respond to complaints concerning members. Complaints are also handled as discreetly as possible. IMCA is not "mute." I hope you see the pitfalls of dealing with non members in public? Also, if someone wanted your viewpoint, would you want them to address you directly or have them speak loudly at a third party hoping you would overhear the inquiry? IMCA inquiries are probably easier to recognize as inquiries when directed to IMCA rather than to third parties.
IMCA is not "hiding." Membership dues have provided a List for
IMCA business, Directors can be contacted at their email addresses
or [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suggestions from
members continue to be encouraged. The organization is all volunteer.
No one is paid. Dues support a very soon to be legal entity with By-Laws,
committees, etc. We agree that IMCA has incredible potential. (Note: All the directors have paid their dues as well as donate their time!)
IMCA appreciates positive input of its members. No stones please :>) But if you must, please throw them in IMCA's territory. (IMCA List)
Thanks,
ken

So from my point of view, NomCom is is doing a superb job whether it is intentional or by chance. Congratulations ten times over to them.
But what about IMCA? Bernhard has a direct bullseye in his comment here. This has also been my question, so maybe I'm biased, let my bias be judged. IMCA had absolutely nothing to say during the last blow-up with Bob and Adam, although I asked them onlist to DO SOMETHING. One consciencious IMCA director responded but only speaking his own mind. But IMCA chose to be mum.
What good is such a mute IMCA organization? Is Ken quickly going after fakes all there is to IMCA? O, yeah, and dues collection for collectors to finance dealer logos? IMCA is squandering a perfect opportunity to rock the boat and prove itself fairhanded and a collector's organization concerned with authenticity. As of now, it is doing a Clinton hiding between definitions and avoiding facing the music.
And speaking of people who have recognized IMCA for what it is doing now in the past ...This is IMCA's fault... but I see a dog out the window marking his territory by relieving himself, so I need to throw a stone at him and can't finish all my musings at the moment.
Saludos, Doug
