It is quite obvious that the bylaws should be changed so the owners cannot transfer their proxy rights to anybody.
If they do not care, their vote would not show up, but would not be stolen by any Tokiokas or their xxxass.

heard about you board problem; just wondering do you have a clause in your bylaws about who qualifies to be on the board? and check 514 A or B
no more then one representative of an owner to be on the board…
as long as the owner is not on the board either…

you also seem to have two sites w/ no links

As for the claim that I am using this blog site “for shameless self-promotion”: I am trying to use this venue to raise awareness of the issues that, in my opinion, plague the Ilikai and are hurting us. And yes, to advocate myself as a Board Director candidate. There is absolutely no gain whatsoever for me to be on the Board if elected. Nothing. Instead, this whole Ilikai saga is taking up a lot of my personal resources, in terms of time, effort, passion, and missing out on other things that I could direct my passion and time and effort on.

I have no conflict of interest and no affiliation with commercial entities with vested interests here. I am just an individual condo owner.

In my opinion, a lot of things that are happening here are just fundamentally wrong. For ex., that fact that the Tokioka Family controls circa 200 votes through the operation of their company, Marina Vacations, here, and can and will place on the Board at least one of their employees (who don’t own anything here), even though the Tokioka Family itself owns only one unit (or several at most, if under other names). What happened to the democracy?

If there are any factual misrepresentations, please submit to me and I will post corrections immediately. As for opinions and interpretations: those are most-most welcome, please post. I was and am really hoping to have this blog site as a forum for discussion.

As many of you know, I created the ilikaiowners.com website after Brian Anderson purchased the hotel portion of the Ilikai. The website was intended to keep Ilikai owners informed about developments and to engage them in protecting their investments. After more than 2 1/2 years of intense involvement in Ilikai issues, I turned over the maintenance of the website to Ms. Geling who had volunteered for this task.

Unfortunately, the website is now being used for shameless self-promotion. It is high time that I distance myself from Ms. Geling’s accusatory and inflammatory tone and rhetoric. I believe she lacks the team-building skills that are so important to be an effective director on our Board and I encourage owners to carefully evaluate her strategies, none of which are new and have been pointed out and discussed numerous times before. Sadly, other than derogatory rhetoric, she has offered nothing new.
