It’s going to be a legal issue no matter what they do. Just making people forfeit banked & borrowed points they used for March is no where near enough to make up for weeks of closure. It’s just a small fraction of the points used in March.
I think the only “legal” way to do this is to refund all points not honored into next use year, and then have the full membership vote on how to solve the imbalance once the full extent of the imbalance is known.
If full membership votes, it would be pretty hard to challenge in court.
Actually, the only true legal way to do it, that we know about, is to have not waived any rules,
As members, we don’t have to right to vote on things like this, The contract spells it out pretty clearly as to what the aoosication and the board of directors must seek the members to actually vote,
So, at this point, any changes they choose to make leaves it in their hands, My hope is that behind the scenes they are looking at whatever options they can implement without violating the contract above and beyond what they are doing,
I know it’s disappointing and frustrating that members could lose points, but in everything I have currently read, it’s a consequence of the system and traveling at the end of a UY.
I think we all need to be prepared that if this lasts more than 2 weeks,, there will be issues in the system and people will struggle in booking rooms down the road, and could lose points,
Personally, I think they are doing the best they can right now and working to figure it out for us, if they can, to minimize the loss of points to as many members as they can,
