who is going to charge an EC member acting in good faith who makes a slight mistake ? – the resident who keeps raising it in emails asking for the next thing he'd like – that's who.
the previous poster raised his concern about timer lights – if someone said they'd like a different time, it wasn't changed, then someone was injured, does that leave the committee liable? for sure the injured would like to think so.
accepting collective responsibility ? – the only acceptance of collective responsibility I've typically seen is a collective wish to avoid paying any increase in levies, and a collective outrage if there are any special levies.
as for standing for election – that's usually like the joke line of soldiers asked for volunteers – everyone else takes one step backwards, leaving the poor unsuspecting up for pointing fingers at and blaming when things are not quite what they like.
I'm not bemoaning the role – I enjoy it – I'm just giving my observations of the typical owners' behavior towards collective 'responsibility'.
and I still think this legislation is unfair, unreasonable, harsh and unconscionable if it seeks to punish unpaid amateur volunteers for things they did at a cost to themselves for no financial reward and no personal benefit in order to help others.
