It seems the membership meeting was another mess. So tell me again why the whole thing shouldn't be thrown out and replaced with something totally different. As Einstein would say, it's insanity to think that doing the same old thing over and over will produce any real change. Participatory democracy doesn't work on any level for HPP. The board doesn't work. Membership meetings don't really do anything and are easily overruled by the board if they do. (The board has overturned membership resolutions going back to at least 2007 and probably beyond.) Interest and participation in elections is dropping despite a steady increase in full time resident owners.
I'll suggest two options for real reform. We could replace the current hui with a professional management company selected by a committee of the chairs of some independent community organizations such as the League of Women Voters. Or we could take kalakoa's suggestion and convert the hui to a Special Improvement District. Either of those two would be better than what we have now, which is worse than nothing.
