Overall a lot of work goes into the event and the organizer deserves to be compensated, that said the participants must have transparency.
P ersonally, the best outcome imho would be that those impacted are made whole and the issue of the NRD and dinner arrangements be sorted if there is a future for these events. These details should be crystal clear.
finally the compensation required by the organizer should be defined and agreed upon, up front by attendees.
I hope all come out of this ok.  |
All very good points Gus, and the customary way of doing business with an organizer/facilitator.
They are in business and should be compensated, and the compensation is normally agreed upon in advance. This organizer has said he has years of experience organizing this exact event, so it makes sense that he would accurately know what the costs and his margin are well in advance. The fact that he acts as if he's surprised and clueless when the dinner imploded is disturbing enough, but not offering refunds for service not rendered makes it all very suspicious.
If this was a watch transaction, what standard would the community apply to this "seller"?
