This is exactly the problem: the change in 2012 was based solely on what
a (small, but loud) part of the *membership* wanted, and it was changing
policy-relevant parts of the AGM without involving the AP *community* on 
this.

I am fairly sure I said it back then as well: the way new charging
schemes are usually presented ("take this or leave it") does not actually 
help - if people overall agree with the changes, like "it will get cheaper
for me!", but still disagree with the policy implications, what are they 
supposed to vote for?

My memory of specific events and "who said what" is getting muddled, though,
and as I said, I was just too tired back in 2012 to put up a bigger fight.

(The whole way all aspects of 2007-01 were handled by the board did not
exactly feel like "gettings support" anyway - it more felt like "wading
through morasses of subtle hindrance")
