If the WIA is only seven equal members, then there is no issue and no lack of proportionality. And this causes some Councillors a great deal of angst. The politicking must stop, and the easiest way to affect this is to remove its cause. Martin Luther has proposed that we use member clubs to facilitate the provision of member services. VK4 does not agree that this will work.
Clubs come, clubs go.
Clubs were formed to serve their specific members, some of whom are members of the WIA, and some are not. The clubs were not formed to be the service providers of the Institute, nor were they formed to be the voice of the Institute in a certain area. VK4 suggests we retain the divisions as the providers and co-ordinators of services, with the federal WIA rebating divisional membership fees to the divisions as now occurs, and with representation being effected by use of regional representatives. The use of federal electorates as boundaries, with a certain number of electorates per regional representative to a maximum and minimum numbers in any one state would see a larger more truly representative Council, but not necessarily a much more expensive Convention. The Institute would at last be seen as being truly representative.
