If you give up you will never change anything.

If you are as worried as you try to make yourself sound, why would you not
want to take part and put your vision into it?

If you dislike "corporate models" so much, I would suggest you stop help to
run convetions altogether because any convetion will surely fail without
some levels of control and structure as they are currently trying to put
into place and these controls and structures will invariably appear as
"corporate" controls and structures because like it or not a con is still a
business, it will collapse if it does not make costs just like any business
would and it has to do so without all the chapter 8 and 11 and whatever
breaks big companies get that allow them to operate at a deficit for years
and years and years.  Also, in many cases the federal government says we
have to because of the paperwork we've filed with them and this is not the
issue I would choose for the government to be angry with me about.

You can stay in your own little corner of the con if you wish, but by doing
so I believe you are forefiting any and all rights to complain about what
gets done and how with this committe and the board.  The decision in the end
is yours, but should you choose your corner over involvement we can remind
you that you had the chance to make a difference and declined it.

No, I am not putting myself up for the committee.  Right now Filk is about
all I can handle with the other work I'm doing outside of work.  This is my
choice.  But then again, I am not overly worried about what is going to
happen.  I trust that everything will be fine and there will be enough
checks and balances that nothing comepletely insane will be done.  If I was
worried I could put off the next four or five months of personal work and
offer to take part.  Right now I do not feel the need.

I will leave you to make your own decisions.  I know I am having to make
mine.

Chocolate Visions,
Sarah
