Day 8

Introduction

AIN has concurred that the ASC is a good idea, now an organization system needs to be established.

Should it be a small group like the International Simlympic Committee with only a small group of people running the organization or a representative group like the International Olympic Committee with one person representing a nation?

1a. If you answered the ISC, how many people should be in the ASC? How will they become a member?

1. How should the membership of the ASC be? Should it be a small group like the International Simlympic Committee with only a small group of people running the organization or a representative group like the International Olympic Committee with one person representing a nation?

It should be representative.

1b. If you answered the IOC, should there be a president/head of the ASC?

Yes, but only for administrative purposes. All representatives should otherwise be equal.


2. How will the ASC function? (Reminder: yesterday, a couple of suggestions were - constructive critism, PAS, promotion, game results posting and such)

All of that sounds okay.

3. Will the ASC be an year-round organization, or only during simlympic season?

Year round.

4. What are your opinions, suggestions, comments, concerns about the ASC?

My only concern is that the ASC may seek to take control of bidding. If there is an assurance that control of the bid/participation in games remains the domain of individual nations, Arcacia will join.

2.
How will the ASC function? I believe the ASC should be an advisory council of skilled bidders, BAT'ers, PhotoShop Pros and someone who likes to follow SimSports like mad.

3. Will the ASC be an year-round organization, or only during simlympic season? It would operate year-round for summer and winter simlympics.

4. What are your opinions, suggestions, comments, concerns about the ASC? See my answer to yesterdays thread
well here it is:
1.Should the ASC be involved with AIN member bids to host the games?
Yes,
the ASC should be involved in the Bid Process. This involvement should
be purely on a voluntary basis. To clarify, Let's say I want to Bid for
the Royal City of Ascadylea to host the summer games. I put together a
bid, personally, then I would show my bid to the ASC. The ASC should be
comprised of people with superior PhotoShop, Image editing and BAT
skills who can offer advice on Presentation and maybe able to help the
presenter Personalize some venues so that they look extra special.
1a.If you answered yes, what should the ASC do? Should the ASC just help make
the bids better, or should the ASC suggest whether a bid should be or
shouldnt be sent to the ISC?

I think i answered all of this above, but to reiterate. The ASC should
be a committee of experts that offer suggestions for Bids for various
Simlympics. By no means should the ASC try and dissuade one from
entering their bid to the ISC, as this is the creators prerogative.


2.Should the ASC act as a unionwide organization for AIN?
The
ASC should be comprised of a BAT'er, an Image Guru, a SC4 expert and
someone who follows the SimSports Olympic coverage like a fiend.
Whoever fits these criteria should be the committee. They should only
exist as an Advisory Council, as I mentioned in my answer to question 1.
2a. Should the ASC promote PAS, post game results, show news regarding the simlympics and the games?
Yes. They would be responsible for updating the AIN website with AIN specific Olympic Coverage.

3. Should all the AIN nations in the simlympics join ASC?
No.
There wouldn't be anything to Join. The ASC would be an advisory
Council that offers suggestions and feedback to bidders, help to bid
winners to make sure that the Host Nation puts on the Best Simlympics
Ever.

4. What are your opinions, suggestions, comments, concerns about the ASC?
I
feel that the Simlympics are an individual nation's time to try and
grab some of the SimWorld's spotlight. The ASC should exist sorely as
an advisory council that gives assistance when asked. Assistance should
be non-biased and again only given when asked.


Oh and btw, there shouldn't be a president or anyone in charge of the committee. They should just be an advisory council. There to assist when asked

1. How should the membership of the ASC be? Should it be a small group like the International Simlympic Committee with only a small group of people running the organization or a representative group like the International Olympic Committee with one person representing a nation? Answer one of the following questions based on your answer.

Representative group like the IOC.

1b. If you answered the IOC, should there be a president/head of the ASC?

Yes, but no special privileges. They should just be there to keep everything on track and running smoothly.

2. How will the ASC function? (Reminder: yesterday, a couple of suggestions were - constructive critism, PAS, promotion, game results posting and such)

Just the same really. If that makes sense.

3. Will the ASC be an year-round organization, or only during simlympic season?

Year round, although obviously it'll be more active in Simlympic season.

4. What are your opinions, suggestions, comments, concerns about the ASC?

None.

I agree with all Thomas' points ^^^

I agree with Dan's statements.
