Doug PollardThis is a dead parrot
Remember the Python parrot sketch? Remind you of anything? For Norwegian Blue Parrot, read Alternative Lifestyle Organisation.
It too is deceased.
Life support has been switched off: but the rump of the organisation and management keep insisting it's 'only resting.'
I know a dead parrot when I see one, and this is a dead parrot. No amount of shaking the cage and bellowing in its ear is going to bring it back to life.
"We need to think about the whole idea from scratch. The whole thing s a strange relic from the past, and we'll be better off without it in my opinion. It's only dragged on this long, BECAUSE of the money."
ALSO is old tech, a rotary dial in a world of iPhones.
"I would be very happy to volunteer to support a transition to a volunteer organisation. I have considerable experience in working with and revitalising failing community organisations. I'm not sure to whom I should make an offer. Any thoughts?"
With you on that one. mate, but don't expect a warm welcome from the denialists, At least, not yet.
Sure, fixing up the mess will be painful: the relatives who were living in the ALSO house have to be found new homes: that process has begun, but is being blocked by the tiny minority of people still in denial.
"Put it into administration. As my partner, who is a CPA says, what else do you do?"
The Foundation is insolvent: it cannot continue. End of story. It needs to be wound up in a dignified, orderly and transparent manner, and the way that is done is by placing it immediately into administration.
And then we can all come together and build a new organisation for the 21st century. We're not Alternative any more, people.
