Well I don't believe in stealing another persons ideas, nor would I like to mis-represent something I was aware of.
Either way, you haven't answered the question directly. OK indirectly you are saying the HKTG ODCA consists entirely of you and Davo. Well sorry but you didn't make this clear, in fact on OldHolden (at least) you have implied that HKTG ODCA is (as I previously stated) a well-established organisation with considerable experience in hosting events related to HKTG. This appears not to be the case. In fact you appear to have no experience at all in hosting an event on this topic or (let's be clear) any other.
As I have implied, to be a Not for Profit you need to meet certain requirements. One of these may be that there needs to be 3 Directors and a Secretary. If this hierarchy has not been established then we may conclude that this is not a case of "hit the wrong button whilst registering", but rather complete ignorance of the requirements of a NFP. I do not suggest this is deliberate or otherwise, however I would suggest that procedures are put in place immediately so as not to compound the situation.
Now, although you may say "Never set out to take away anything from anyone. ", some may interpret your actions differently. You have made suggestions that HKTG Recovery's actions have been fractious and divisive, whereas my interpretation is that he was given no notice of the formation of the HKHTHG ODCA before its inception, despite your assurances that this is a mutual and beneficial NFP association, and in fact any divisiveness may have been instigated by your Association with no foreknowledge or forewarning to HKTG Recovery. In that regard I find your claims disingenuous and possibly misleading.
Further to your points:
"but after a month the whole thing seemingly dissappeared"
The idea was floated and memorialised in this thread on 15/09/10. This does not qualify as "after a month", or "a month", and I find it unfair of you to make this kind of approximation, especially when no deadline was proposed - you seem to be making excuses for your own agenda without considering any of the facts in relation to time.
It is incorrect to assume that "nothing had happened" just because you weren't personally appraised of any and all proceedings, and in fact it is particularly unfair of you to make this claim when you make public statements of "fairness" and "support" when in reality you gave HKTG Recovery no information whatsoever that you were plotting a conflicting agenda.
In actual fact, I had been approached by Simon to canvas any possibilities of entertainment for such an event, due to my close ties to the most influential and successful media and entertainment agencies in this country, and was in consultation to develop an appearance by an appropriate band depending on the location and size of the event.
If you are representing a NFP then you should fully disclose your interests, such as your residential proximity to your preferred location among other factors.
As I have said, I think it is unfair to suggest that Simon dropped the ball while you were making behind-the-scenes machinations to hijack his event under the (apparently unlawful) guise of a NFP association.
