THE USCF WAY -- HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

From: (TOMDORSCH)
Subject: OMOV survey
Date: 1996/05/22
newsgroups: rec.games.chess.politics

The OMOV survey, commissioned in 5/95 to ascertain the wishes of the
membership regarding one-member-one-vote, has been cancelled. The $20K
allocated for the survey will not be spent.

It is now up to the Blue Ribbon Commission to engineer positive
changes in USCF governance.

Regards, Tom Dorsch

"Grand experiments at the memberships expense is the USCF way. Why use
scientific management methods to focus on success when our leaders can
play craps with our dues money? Let's spend $50,000 and see if our
adult members and associated revenue increase as a result. If it
doesn't work we can always look at doing a poll, but it will probably
cost too much and won't provide the answers we want to hear." -- Wayne
