action: prioritize and schedule

prioritize and schedule - what to do first? what is more urgent? what can wait? how do we decide?

Many will agree that it is a steep climb to enable a "new TRA" to fulfill the promise it may one day. Yet resources are finite.

One way we can approach prioritizing actions is based on time-to-implement, doing those that can be done quickly first

I think it is important to make a difference quickly that members can see and feel, to encourage more to step up and contribute; and so that we can get a much-needed relief from the policies of the past.

Certain things, especially those that required external organizations (like the NFPA) take longer time, but require planning, wordcraft, establishing alliances, assembling compelling evidence, etc. to be effective. These may be a ongoing activities, with a series of milestones so that success of a proposal being adopted is more likely

Other things require considerable investment, such that fund raising is required, and the sooner such projects are identified (and the more support can be elicited from the members) the faster it can be accomplished. But how to prioritize projects, and how to decide to pursue some in parrallel? Or will one compete with another for funding and participation?

comments?

It is my understanding as an involuntary "non-member" I would have no such input but I have made my suggestions very clear in the past.

There's that word again: "many". You've made quite a habit of speaking for others. Why not post in the TRA list and see how many actually feel as you do?

your not a expatriot of a successor organization, d0od. and since a "New TRA" is a fiction created for the purpose of focusing discussion, I hereby declare you a fictitious member! ;)

so what should be the priorties? and how should future priorities be determined?

naysaying and off topic

do you have any ideas about what priorities should be set? Take my list of questions posed to elicit ideas, and run with some.

Well, since I don't want to infringe on Shred Vector's rocket club, we could always hijack the DNRC and rename it Dogberts New Rocket Club. At least we'd know up front what kind of leadership to expect. Not that we should be surprised that a club named Tripoli is run as a facist dictatorship...

  1. Leaders that actually follow the rules they have.
  2. Publish a journal however infrequent needed to stay on schedule. Annual if necessary. Business card format if necessary.
  3. Considering (1.) above, eliminate any non-critical rule so there are fewer rules to break.
  4. If something requires compliance with a higher authority (ATF, DOT, UN, SFM) let that authority ALONE decide if the vendor or useris compliant and merely PUBLISH known compliance methods for them to research and comply with. If a published report is said to be innacurate, remove it until it can be reverified as accurate or corrected to be made accurate.

No "Kelly/Rogers opinion" sluffed off as fact.

It's a fiction, alright. But the real purpose is mudslinging. If it weren't, you'd have given this "new" organization a different name.

This is an unmoderated forum, and even if there were a moderator, you're not it.

Iz dodged again:

YOU made the post here in which you claimed to speak for "many" members of TRA, so it's clearly "on-topic" to suggest that you post in the TRA list and find out how many actual TRA members really do support your anti-TRA agenda.

Pardon me. But how is identifying and addressing actual problems "anti-TRA?"

enough to have members leave, and have prospective members decide against joining

tell me, how many is that, Ray?

On the order of a thousand or more and the total membership is 3000. This is based on first hand observations before I was removed in 92-93 and it has gotten worse since.

And that is JUST the people who joined at all everin TRIPOLI. The folks on the sidelines who are not joiners were also early leavers at a higher rate and it is those folks who represent the about 20,000 lost souls.

I bet not many Wal-Mart MR customers are NAR members :)

So, Izzy,

Would your "new TRA" answer questions like I asked you about ARSA, or not?

I find it so very interesting that you won't answer even the most basic questions about ARSA, even though you are the "communications facilitator" (your term) for ARSA.

- George Gassaway

----------- repeat of questions that Izzy refused to answer

Izzy,

I?ve had some problems locating some things on the ARSA website.

Where can I find the ARSA by-laws?

Where can I find any information as to when/where ARSA was officially created as regards public/state (or federal?) documentation or recognition?

Where can I find info on when the last ARSA election was held, and who ran?

Where can I find info on when the next ARSA election will be held?

Where can I find a list of who is on the ARSA board, which positions are held by what people, and how does the ARSA board operate if for some reason the ARSA by-laws website link didn?t load?

As ARSA communications facilitator, I?m sure you won?t mind answering these.
