My proposal isn't the cause of this turmoil. Many organizations make proposals. The members address the questions peacefully. They ask the questions. Resolve issues. Bordy and Don, as well as others who it might concern... Please realize that I am not speaking for myself on this for some self gratifying purpose. I know that status quo wasn't working for BOTH sides. It won't be my propsal that breaks us up. It will be your contention in not accepting that the needs of enough people weren't being met. My proposal is not mine... It's ours... You don't know what people want. It's not just Josh. It's not just me.... My job has been hampered to help the UWA because of the conundrums inherent in the organization.It was about making it bearable so that more people WANT to be involved. Todd would have been a great asset to the UWA. I hope he still wants to be involved.
Let me add in here... I am pretty aware of my weaknesses and inadequacies. They are many. If I could do this over, with hindsight, of course I would change some things, as in how I presented it. I just did not know the reaction would be taken as a negative, otherwise I'd have been more careful with it. But still would have proposed it. I'm asking you to let it go and let's move on and grow. For now.
UWA membership if you feel I was trying to divide us, I am sorry. I was not. I was tryng to avert it. The windsurfing body and most of the kiting body knows this. If you had been in my position you would know this. Now is the time for the UWA to speak its mind. Bordy ... It's an organization where people vote for what they want. Let them. And let's have peace. I call for an AMEN.
