You told me you had reviewed both contracts, and refused to sign in spite of the majority of the BOD being in favor of it. You were never asked to sign without reviewing the contracts.

Issue, one issue

As in, I have talked to the ranger about this already, but it was months ago, and I would be happy to confirm at the pre-event meeting.

I missed seeing the one sentence on the 3rd page of the addendum. I am happy to admit that. This is one of the reasons I asked the BOD to review the contract. I'm pretty resentful of how you've handled this. I was trying to do the right thing by having the BOD check the contract, and as far as it went the process worked, in that they found something I missed. Great. I have now heard from 3 different sources that you've told, how I screwed up, and it's been implied pretty strongly that I failed to do my job because of it.

Not quite how it works. The paperwork all comes from an office, and they have little contact with the park. If there are any questions about the site itself, or exceptions to any rules, they have told me to address it with the ranger. There is a pre-event meeting with the ranger in charge. I already met with the ranger for the August campout, so I have an idea of how they do things. It's always a good idea to check back, and confirm. All my responses to all your concerns were that I would confirm it with the ranger, not because I had no clue, but because I was trying to be extra careful.

Section 3. LIMITATIONS OF THE BOARD
1.
The Board has no status in the order of precedence and no jurisdiction over any
internal club or local
chapter
functions except as noted above.
There is no signed contract to run the event. There is a verbal agreement between the monarchs, regents, and autocrats to run the event. To help with planning we tried to give them as much information as we could about our ideas for the event. There is absolutely no reason the BOD needs to know about the feast menu, schedule of events, or battlegames. The BOD was given access to all contracts, and supplementary materials to those contracts. They were also given the names of the autocrats that the monarchies asked to run the event.
It has been mentioned to me that there is a fear that there is a secret contract between the monarch and the autocrats limiting our liability, and making any possible problems that come up the responsibility of the BOD. I could be wrong, but I don't see how there could be a binding contract to that effect that one party (the BOD) has not signed, or even seen?
SirEuric wrote:If it is no big deal then why can't we look it over. I found issues the autocrats did not in the site contract, where is one more set of cautious eyes a bad thing. I don't want to cause the event not to happen, or take it over or whatever the other rumors are. All I want is for us to make informed choices. We are a non profit now and as such open to much more scrutiny.
In fact, when we asked for money from the althing, we did publish the bid. I did not release the bid to you because it is very specifically outside the scope of the BOD.
