Re: Disgusting
Not everybody is online every day and not everybody reads all the forum threads, so it is not supprising. I know a lot of pilots that do not even use the internet so I think it will take a while beofre everybody realises the value of holding the meetings online. If the vote line is kept open for a week or so I am sure a lot more people will participate and the votes will be more representative. Maybe the admins can send a pm to all the members reminding them to come and vote.

I agree with Stefan, to get an better idea, let the vote run for a week.

Re: Disgusting
I agree. Timeline of 32 minutes is just too short. Traffic, weather and family responsibilities are all contributing to a poor attendance!Air Hog wrote:I got stuck in traffic at an accident and by the time I could logon, it was to late, voting closed.KFA wrote:If the vote line is kept open for a week or so I am sure a lot more people will participate and the votes will be more representative.

Re: Disgusting
There is also no reason for an online meeting to be held in the same time span as a in person one. Lets stretch this out for a couple of days and when a reasonable amount of time has lapsed then close the vote and the rest of the pack will have to live with the decisions taken at that time.

Re: Disgusting
Hello Loanranger, not being a member I did not participate.
I feel your pain though as I am also trying to get our residents participation to stop the establishment of a guesthouse in our complex.
There is a huge amount of comment and encouragement, but when the chips are down & its time to put their money where their mouth is - you are alone.
Personal one on one chats, telephone calls, e mails, sms's all a huge waste of my time.
Apathy is rife.
I don't believe you will ever win with the on line idea, those guys that did participate will not next time.
I have tried using the vote button on E mails, guys think they have read the E mail but just type Yes/No, or could not take the time just to click the button.
UN believable

Well I am glad I voted yes. I just received my online membership card via fundi.
