Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Erman C.):

Greetings to all. Happy to see that the blog has return to a more civil and informative discourse between owners and those interested in being owners. I extend my thanks to all those that have continued to do the hard work of contacting Marriott to get the facts about how our ownership is changing/improving with the new points system.

I did notice in my snail mail a Marriott VCI proxy ballot for Sabal Palms. Like most things this is the time to get off the sidelines and become active voting owners. I don't know the current association president or the nominated board members (I should and will soon). I'll be putting my votes behind those who will represent how I'd like to see my property managed.

On the MVCI level, Marriott does own all their un-sold units, but I suspect existing owners still exceed those numbers by 10 or 20 fold. That fact makes our voices a major factor in how MVCI and II provide services to us as paying customers. Remember we pay all the bills for Marriott and II. In the spirit of election season, I suggest we move this discussion towards formulating a list of key concerns we have discovered with the new point system and more importantly compile several workable solutions to each concern. This may take a month or more to refine, but perhaps by Oct/Nov we can communicate "our" wishes to Marriott and II. Those that participate in other Marriott blogs can canavas those groups as well. I suggest all property owners submit the consolidated "recommendations" to the point system via your respective owner associations to allow them to carry the weight and voice of the entire association of owners.

Just my thoughts for today. Once again thanks to all who make positive contributions to this bolg.

Erman
