Please nominate a charity for YDC100

[moonwitch]

Generally, so do I - but for YDC 100 I understood (?wrongly?) that an international Charity, which would appeal to the eBid Community as a whole as well as enhancing the international eBid profile, was preferable. Obviously someone has made this suggestion & I have taken it on board as being a good one & generally accepted it when apparently this would appear now not to be the case. If I have misunderstood then I apologize.

Yes...someone DID suggest it but I don't think anything definite was decided.

Perhaps another poll..."what kind of charity should YDC 100 be raising money for"

"Local" or "Global"

As I said up there ^ some of us have said we think global would be good, others may not feel the same way. If I said "ooh, something lunar would be great" that wouldn't make it a rule. People are entirely free to nominate what they like, why they like. Vonz has said there's going to be a poll of the nominated charities at the end of this process.

Quite so.

For myself... gawd no!! Can't see any need to make it more complicated. Nominate. Vote. Easy.

This Gill has now got the other Gill's headache.

I too thought it was to be a thread about nominating one charity and the poll or discussions about which charity would chosen for the nominated charity would be later.

A small worry: I am a little concerned that these discussions may (only may) affect the next YDCs 98 and 99 which are equally important IMHO.

I haven't started a poll for ages

It is. I can't see any reason for thinking otherwise. What is it that's causing this confusion? Vonz has always been crystal clear, I thought.

Still plenty of days to go, but I for one have spent time today planning what I'm going to list for Janet's Trust.

Lovely, thanks Kim.

Quite!
My head is spinning at the very thought of all the various processes we still need to go through.
Could everyone please help me out here - and keep the thread reasonably on task. Ta muchly!

I kind of hope the opposite may be true, and the "publicity" fallout from YDC100 will attract even more folk to YDC in general.

OK, I have decided not to add another as there are more than enough to choose from and I.d be happy to support most of them. And I can always 'opt out' and pick my own
