IMPORTANT IVAO domain name change

<< < (4/5) > >>

True, I fear IVAO going offline. However it is true that IVAO is this guy's creation, and therefore his property. Giving the users an idea of what was going on would have been a better idea than kicking him out and having HIM tell us the story. I mean, c'mon guys, how can you have this stuff in IVAO? We just want to fly for god's sake. Anyways, I sure hope this doesnt end with IVAO off the net.

EHM-1760 Sven:
Why should that happen? I hope  the "Council" (how philnutt wrote it :-) ) understands what the spirit of IVAO is, because I think IVAO become something spezial. I realy like IVAO. I got to know many new friends all over the world with the help of IVAO and Euroharmony. That must be a never ending story;D

EHM-1703 Philip:
Yeah you right Sven, those of us that use it regularly, love it. Unfortunately like everything else these days, it ends in battles and mud slinging because a few people can't get along! If this ended up in a courtroom, while it shouldn't but hey who knows, it may cause IVAO to splinter in to two groups or organisations.

Well I must admit, I used the council term liberaly as a few of the "council" members have admitted that they were not asked to vote..... By that I mean, the IVAO council includes Division Directors who were not all consulted, but that is just what I have read and can't be confirmed.

Hello,

please check the topic in the IVAO General forum...


--- Quote ---Hi IVAO-members,

Let me just clear out some confusion about recent events, and IVAO’s future.

What happened with Morten?

I really prefer not going into details here. Fact is things became impossible to work with him in those last days. Keeping him as President, there was an imminent threat of losing the major part of senior staff (including key-departments as a whole). So HQ and I had to take responsibilities to ensure the future of IVAO. This by removing Morten from the President position with a 3 to 4 vote in HQ-staff (the very little democracy we currently have at IVAO, and the way all senior staff has been (dis-)appointed up to now), and with the support of all headquarter staff that we were able to contact on short notice). We are still in touch with Morten, and there is still some hope he will be part of the IVAO future.

What are our plans for the near future?

IVAO as non-profit organisation

In the coming weeks a group of people will be formed to form a founders group. Their main task will be to define the statues of IVAO, and register IVAO as non-profit organisation. This group will later become the Council. This Council will then elect their president and other important management functions. They will then be responsible for setting the general policy of IVAO, assigning staff etc. One general principle will be that membership will remain free of charge for everyone, at all times. We hope this NPO will form a more stable and democratic base.

Current staff structure

A draft of a new structure was already shown in our last staff meeting a few days ago. This structure will be further refined and then approved by the Council. The main idea behind is that there will be fewer departments than now, but with more clearly defined teams (and team leaders) and their reponsibilities. Also HQ (up to now, a bit isolated above the departments) will be extended with the departments heads, forming the new daily management of ExCom (Executive Committee)

I can't say more at this moment, but you’ll be informed on our next steps, as soon as possible.

Regards

Erwin, Gus, Alain and Allen

Well ...

One this is sure. Things got hot out there ;D..

I am sure everything will be solved out. IVAO will continue. It's a too much big project to stop now. I am sure Morten knows that.

Regards,
