I think  the   ICSBS  has  "lost  it"     - very  sad  to say


Peter,

I don't think the ICSBS ever "had it", so there was nothing to "lose".

Sadly, although a member since 1998, I have always felt like an outsider. Of the 600-odd members listed in the directory I suspect that only the conventioneers, who number less than 100, are ever "heard".

Two times during my 19 years questionaires have been sent out to get feedback from the membership. Great potential initiative, and I responded with enthusiasm and plenty of helpful suggestions. I learnt much later from a former board member (who is probably reading this) that absolutely NOTHING was done with the responses. Zilch.

When the Singapore convention was planned around 2002(?), with a side trip to Thailand, I wrote a personal letter to Berthe to offer my services in organizing their excursion. Never had a reply. Many months after the event John Ault told me he had been assigned to arrange it. Fair enough. Until he mentioned that he had promptly handed the task over to a tour operator!

I could go on.......but 'nuff said.
