To comment briefly, only on the public perception and not the motive, many were confused by this. It was instrumental in securing them a position at the mediation table, imnsho. For many month the media represented them to be, effectively, the replacement entity to the TCC. I, and others, contacted them to object loudly and often. The media have since made it clear they are not, in part by doing a much better job covering what the TCC is saying and doing. For a good stretch there, I was pretty upset about it.

RememberSchiff Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Charter and ByLaws of BSA as amended through May, 2021 https://www.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Charter_Bylaws_May2021.pdf Article III. The Executive Board, Section 2 Membership will drop from 64 to 40 members. Adding a single survivor is similar to having a single, token scout member on the National Executive Board. Zero impact.

This could be a game changer for bankruptcy. At the last Town Hall meeting the comment was made that the focus is on the current plan since THAT is what's being voted on. If I were the TCC I'd let that mess of a plan take a bit of a beating for a while before releasing all or parts of their plan. Stay down in the fox hole until the time is right to attack! That said, maybe some will be discussed Thiursday at the next Town Hall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so amazingly token it's yet another example of the BSA setting a new low for the least it can do. ONE vote in a closed-door meeting. The fact that the Coalition was touting it shows they don't get it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember if I said this in this forum or another, and I hope we merge soon, but it was embarassing. Rothweiler starts by crying about how he's working day and night? Where do I sign up for that and its payday? What really threw me though was this disconenct...he said at the beginning that they had 2,000 viewers. Okay, let's say we believe that. 2,000 of the 70,000 clients they represent? Not good. They then answered 19 questions in 45 minutes. The week before the TCC answered over 200 in an hour. So you tell me: 1. They weren't prepared to answer questions? 2. Their clients are so well informed they didn't have any questions? 3. The questions they got they didn't want to see the light of day so they didn't answer them? I'm not a Coalition client but I'm curious. I posted a question that they wouldn't see was positive to their cause and it never appeared because they didn't answer it. The whole performance wasn't pretty and if I was a Coalition client who asked a challenging question I'd be pissed. They'll be back Tuesday night and I hope for those clients' sake it goes better.

They need a producer, coaching, a writer, an editor, more water for Ken…and, for the love of mercy, would someone please send Ken flowers and some multivitamins? He’s working night and day, and day and night. Crisscrossing the globe chasin nickels and twisting arms. BooHoo. Fa’gedabadit. Can’t take it. Now, “they’re not taking fees out of the survivors’ pocket…like other professionals.” Say what? “If you don’t approve, 5-10 years of litigation” pretty much guaranteed. I’m out… On 10/16/2021 at 2:46 PM, ThenNow said: Let me add, half hour and ‘answered’ 19 questions, most of which weren’t questions. No response to mine. Might be too many coming in they can’t or don’t want to answer. I was told the TCC answered 200+ in an hour. Gimme a break. This show ain’t ready for the road. Lotta dog. No pony or saddle-ready cowboys. On 10/16/2021 at 5:23 PM, ThenNow said: Well, they said 2k. 19 questions to the TCC’s 200 answered? I very, very seriously doubt that. Rothweiler looked scared, rattled, unprepared and cotton-mouthed. I’m not just saying that. As a stage and production guy, it was a red hot Hot Chicken mess. Swing and a whiff. By a mile. I would like to hear from any Coalition client(s) who came away with overwhelming confidence in their counsel and advice given. Anyone? Going once… Yupper...
