Have only just looked at this thread, and determined as I read, to express some concern at the attitude of some who post here. However the Dark one has beaten me to it.
Gentlemen it IS your organisation, which will do what you as a democratic majority, ask of it. All they (you) require to make it work is committment and a bit of involvement.
Missing Link, you would do yourself a great big favour if you read and absorbed what has been offered to you in the way of advice from one considerably older and wiser than yourself.
The only thing I would add to the Dark one's post is that if indeed you have been told by your negotiator, that "that is all you could achieve", perhaps he should have said: "that is all you can achieve given your individual reluctance to contribute, and your collective reluctance to accept solidarity."
