Do you take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of purely external affairs
Here is a classic of the genre: Anarchy | The Anarchist Library
Malatesta was a great figure within organised anarchism.
I’m sure I have a lot of beliefs in common with that lot but I’m way to cynical for any of that shit I think. Plus have you ever heard anarchists and communists talk?
A dagger through my heart 
Got a rejection email around lunchtime.
Over 150 applications received.

That’s why I can’t properly define them! They never say how it works!

Somewhat ironic there that the triggering incident for the creation of these groups wasn’t discussed at the first meeting.
As always, I can’t help but think the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
I’ve long thought the APL was a giant waste of time and I also think DT should’ve been transparent about the financial issues surrounding the competition. Then maybe he could’ve brought fans onboard and thrown the GF to a transparent tender process. He still would’ve been pilloried but at least we would’ve understood what was going on.
Having said that - and I am not referring to any person on here, just comments I’ve seen - a lot of people seem to live in a fantasy land of economic unreality. I don’t agree with how DT handled the GF. but I don’t think he’s irredeemable and I think there are much bigger issues than where the GF is played… like having a solvent competition. Which many really don’t seem to care about.
Incidentally, if he really got the license fees for the two new clubs, DT has performed a minor miracle.
Good mix of Cove and not Cove, plenty of familiar faces and names there that I’d trust to represent fan voices well.

I’m seeing double. FOUR Michelles!
Remember D Shaw from SUSFC times. Decent bloke and good operator from what I recall, though I was probably barely 20 at the time so who knows what that actually means. Should provide a good voice on the group
Was there ever any confirmation of the criteria the club was going to use to choose the representatives?
best of luck to all. Not sure if any of the members are active on this forum - but I’ll be asking those I know about how they plan to engage feedback from the wider Sydney FC supporter fanbase to ensure it’s not simply the 8 individuals thoughts, ideas and opinions that get represented. They should be conduits for the wider fanbase - IMO

Bumping an old thread but it struck me today that I hadn’t heard anything from this in a while.
I don’t know if the lack of obvious publicity is by-design, but some minutes are online if you are curious (although the few I’ve skimmed aren’t all that interesting). The latest SFC-specific minutes that I could find on the club website are from June 2024; the APL ones are more up-to-date, with a November 2024 meeting listed, though there was supposed to be one last month too.
The representative term lengths were originally two years, which means they’ll be looking for new people in about 6 months.
Well, don’t look at me.

Not sure where to put this but this is a really nice touch by the club, never had noticed it.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Doggadog in person but I sure remember all the emoticons he used on the forum. The lad loved them!
