ICC Survey Regarding Bulletin Boards

YES! Funny! Now at the world conference that will have a toilet with netting that you can try! Put your quarter in and it will shake the c**p out of you! And the toilet won't become dislodged. Can't say how the wax seal will do!

MLC,

Yes, I got mine; although I almost deleted it before reading. Instead of ICC; it shows from "Michael Armstrong". I think everyone will get an invitation; knowing full well that the vast majority cannot or won't attend. If I knew the meeting would be webcast; I'd go.

I don't like to fly because of the hassle; and, I doubt they would reimberse me for driving.

ps. If anyone ever sends me an e-mail; be sure to identify the subject. I usually automatically delete any emails I get that I don't immediately recognize.

Too much spam mail with virus'.

Fatboy,

Not really sure I'm invited. I am stickler for reading the fine print; "We will add your name to our pool of potential invitees."

I would enjoy driving to Colorado; I have made the trip several times, and have lived in Colorado Springs (found a dead body in Cripple Creek) when I was much younger.

I'll check the yes box and see what happens; it's like a fellow I met; who came to Austin, Texas with the promise of a job with the Austin news paper. When he arrived for work they said they changed their mind and hired someone else. He was stuck without a job. That's about my luck.

I got the email this morning as well. I was expecting a phone conference to discuss the issue, not an all expenses paid trip. No wonder the ICC see the a bulletin board as an expensive venture. I'm not working those days, so I could actually go without any rearranging of my schedule, but I think NOT.
 
I received that message. I won't be able to held to Denver, CO unless they pay me up front.

I won't reply until after Aug. 19th. You guys can carry along the info given such as my suggestions and others. I believe that they should just take note of what I said. If they allowed an online gathering (a chatroom - so to speak) where we can talk then yes. I would be able to attend.
 
Got mine too. I wish my brother still lived in Denver. Darn. I will also accept a free vacation if offered. Got to check with the boss first though.
 
My mom and brother live in Littleton, so I'm seriously thinking of going. I got the email today; I have to confirm by tomorrow!

Well, I got my invitation via phone call to book my flight to Denver. I guess I am no longer one of the potential invitees! Anyone going? I need to check my schedule to see if I can get away.
 
Just got my phone call too.

In the same boat as TJ regarding the "real" boss!

ICC is calling back tomorrow for my final answer. Checking airfare now...
 
Got mine, work boss says okay, home boss says okay.

I'm waiting for some more details from ICC before I book a flight. Probably book it tomorrow or Wednesday.

In fact she's going with me. She doen't work outside of the house so she's free....notice how I stated that? Been married 37 years so.........

"Here's the strategy... answer all the survey questions with as complimentary a tone as you can, towards the "Communities of Interest". Be as positive and courteous as you can, supporting their effort to improve the BB. Then you will be selected as one of the select few who will be invited to participate in the meeting... then tell them what you really think!"

And it worked. :D

It's after 5 PM in Washington at ICC Headquarters; so ya'll must have been toward the end of the list..

If ya'll who are going; are taking this thing seriously, we should at least give it our best. Now, we need to open a thread for serious ideas ONLY; for you'se guys to take to the meeting.

ps. I hope that our old friend the ICC WEBMASTER was invited.

Ya'll make us proud,

Uncle Bob

I hope that anyone and everyone associated in any way with the ICC website was fired, and I'm not saying that to throw out a sensational statement just to get attention; I really mean it. I also believe ICC is too broken to fix.

Strangely, despite my usual understated responses, I didn't get an invitation.
