chownah Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 It would probably build more "group spirit" if you asked the members of your group what to call it instead of you suggesting your ideas to them. What I want to know is who will hold the money and who will decide what to spend it on and who will approve what is posted.....you know....who has control here?

Well probably the Treasurer would hold the money. I assume it would have to develop into a type of "club" with meetings. Including billets. Such as: President, Vice President, Treasurer, ect... you know what I'm getting at. I belive all of this can better be hashed out over a Wiki style format to form all of our details in an organised manner, rather then searching through posts. Kind of like a collaberative brianstom area. Nominations, votes, the whole nine yards. All you need is an open mind and a venue to share your ideas in an organised format.

Jai Dee Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I can smell it in Chaing Mai Jai Dee ! What on earth are you eating?? I think it was the lamb chops I had for dinner last night... washed down with a bottle of Wynns Cab Sav Bin 888... arroy mak mak!!! Back on topic, I share the same concerns that Chownah has... who has control, who holds the money, who authorises expenditure... etc. And I strongly disagree with any proposed organisational name that uses the word farang.

peder.klockmann Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 It seem that most peoples concerns are about money. Who has the money, who has the power? We would have the money, we would have the power! As, a group, not a mass of blind individuals. A sense of comrodery between all members of the group would in essance be established. We would be working as a team for one or more common goal(s). Rather than just present a problem, why not offer your own thoughts on a solution as well? I understand that some might be very uncomfterble with someone else holding their $50 USD (2,000 Baht rounded figure) investment. What possible solutions are out there? Well we could have multiple members on a joint account. All money transactions (withdrawls I think are your main concerns) must be approved by all members on the account. Maybe, we should look into registering the organization as a Buisness, and open a Buisness account. Is there any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see you are talking about these issues here where they will mostly go unnoticed by Thai officials.....of course if I were PM of Thailand I'd have someone from my intelligence branch keep an eye on TV. Squabbling over these kinds of issues in public would be just about the most UnThai thing I can think of and would surely destroy your chances of developing credibility with Thai people.

I see it as more of a breeding ground for ideas and solutions. I see it as a way to collaborate and figure/find out: What are our goals? Why do we want to achieve these goals? How can we achieve our goals? What problems will we face when trying to achieve them? What we will do to solve the problems that will arise? Who (exactly) will we present our cause to? When will we plan on taking our course of action? Where will we start? edit = punctuation Edited May 17, 2005 by peder.klockmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
