RE: GBC Reform & Restructure Conference

[Guest guest]

As Ajamila Prabhu has addressed your questions already, I will add just a

little:

 

I believe the issue of managerial reform has reached "critical mass." In

other words, discussion and desire to address this issue in a concrete form

has become so wide-spread it takes on a momentum and life of its own. It's

not going to go away or be swept under a rug. It's no longer a call by

extremists, fringe-groups or persons inimical to ISKCON. Rather, the issue

is being taken up by faithful members of ISKCON who have a sincere desire to

see its leaders become effective, efficient, and properly situated according

to their intrinsic natures.

 

It behooves those with sympathetic intentions to communicate personally

with members of the GBC with whom they have a personal relationship and

exhort them to be open-minded to the concerns and ideas of their

well-wishers.

 

Your servant,

Sri Rama das

I have the following questions regarding this conference:

 

(1) Have the GBC's agreed to even consider this proposal what to speak of

implementing it?

 

(2) Have some GBC's agreed to the setting up of this conference? Or are any

of

them backing this conference?

 

(3) Will there be any participation of the GBC's themselves in this

conference?

If they do not participate in this conference now, then afterwards when the

proposal is formulated and presented to the GBC, then they may raise several

objections to the proposal and reject it.

 

(4) Before spending time to give a proposal it will good to know how much

the

GBC's are going to accept from this proposal? Whether the GBC's are ready to

accept things like no sannyasis or no gurus on the GBC? Whether any of them

are

willing to step down if the proposal proposes like that?

 

(5) Also it will good to know what is the framework in which the conference

is

going to operate.

Is the conference open to the fact that for restructuring many of the

present

GBC's may have to step down?

 

(6) The Rochford Report doesn't seem to have been taken seriously at all

about

the loss of trust in the leadership by the general mass of ISKCON devotees.

How

can we expect then that a proposal of this kind will be taken seriously by

the

GBC? Why should we spend lot's & lot's of our time & energy for a proposal

which may have a fate more worse than or similar to the Rochford report?
