Doc, I will need to check specifics to be better informed. There were several areas that I wondered if weren't in violation of the state laws. One was the idea that there are outside forces acting and that therefore DVC and the board were not acting in the best interest of the members. Another was that there have been downgrading, substitutions and deletions to the villas, especially at OKW, in regards to minor amentities like toasters, shower curtains, coasters and the like. A third is that the POS (in some places) requires control to be shifted to the members and that has not happened.Dean, just curious what you think has been violated?
Let me be clear on my position lest anyone might misinterpret. I am very happy with DVC and it is functioning for what I bought it for (to stay at DVC resorts). I feel that overall the current Board is in a better position to carry DVC for the long haul that without the current makeup. However, I have never been happy with the Board and senior management and their approach. I continue to feel there should be direct member representation to the Board and that this is required by the POS. Legally, the Board members have a duty to act in the best interest of DVC and the members, not what's best for Disney in general. I continue to feel that to offer programs with little or no value as part of the DVC is insulting and inappropriate though not necessarily illegal. The DC has always fit into this description and does so even more currently.
Having feelings and concerns are not the same as having a legal case. Even if there are technical violations, proving them would be difficult. It would be my hope to inprove the circumstances not just create a lot of hassle for myself or DVC. I am concerned however that things are not going the path that I want to see long term and have basically decided it's time to try to affect that path by the means available to me. It would be my goal to have a positve influence in the long run.
