Do we try to get the AG to resolve the issues so the value of the timeshares get better and owner's have a chance to resell at a decent cost. We know the problems. Mobilize to suggest and advocate for solutions.

stephenh262,

if you have a creative plan to "Mobilize to suggest and advocate for solutions." please share this good idea with us. mobilization is an excellent tactic; the next issues is a "HOW TO MOBILIZE". we need concrete plans: to wit, like the excellent shareowners' meeting held in nyc last august. this was a well-planned meeting and drew many of us owners to attend. BUT WE WERE TALKED "TO" WITH INCONCLUSIVE SOLUTIONS, AND THERE WAS LITTLE IF ANY PROACTIVITY SHOWN BY OWNERS. we need to have an orderly roundtable discussion with a moderator keeping order and presenting our issues and ways to solve them to our satisfaction. an AGENDA would be essential (so we would have to write one) to prevent calling out by anyone, and going off on unnecessary tangents. major complaints, e.g., outrageously high maintenance fees, reservation issues, et al, must be listed and discussed in order, keeping in mind that we're seeking appropriate solutions to each of the listed complaints.

OK, WHO WILL COME UP WITH CREATIVE IDEAS TO GET OWNERS TO COME TOGETHER SIMILAR TO THE THE AUGUST MEETING IN NYC?
