I thought more after your account about that time period, 2000-2001, I
remembered one of those, "UCD will pull out." that I received. I knew that
a few folks kept insisting that I stop asking for inclusion in Clark Park
planning because of this fear.
Then, I got it from the executive director. The City Paper article, Battle
of the Bowl, had just come out about the usual FOCP/UCD shenanigans. The
director was furious because UCD hates any criticism even when very
justified. He pulled the "UCD will pull out of Clark Park... (something
about), you people"
I had had enough of UCD shit and said, "good, when are you leaving" That
was my direct experience, but I recall others expressing that fear.
I know I'm asking a lot. Was a report given to the membership so that the
members knew about the need to give the 3 choices? I would think that could
spark a lively debate. It is a terrible start to community partnerships.

I'm sorry Karen. One other question.
You mentioned the discussion about "better to have a seat at the table"
I find it odd but understandable. Was there any suggestion that UCD would
deny you a seat at the table if you just gave them one CPN choice?
If you can recall, why did CPN board members have that suspicion?
Glenn
The general understanding, both in the UCCC debate of the issue, and with
CPN, was that we had to send three nominees. I don't know whether there
was ever any explicit statement from UCD that sending one would result in
denial, but that was definitely inferred from UCD's insistence to have
three nominees.
To answer your other question, it was the CPN Board, not the membership,
who did then, and does now vote on issues concerning the organization.
The membership elects the Board, and the Board, in turn, acts on the
membership's behalf. So yes, the Board was making the decision to not
send just one, to send three, and who the three would have been.
